AB - Many theologians in Korea are interested in the ‘public theology’.The rationale behind this would be a number of national elections were held in in Europe, USA, and Korea and so many civic movements have been actively worked by many civic organizations. In this context, it would be very useful to review the political issues from the perspectives of public theology.
For this, this paper discusses the political issues from the perspectives of public theologies from the USA(M. Stackhouse and S. Hauerwas), Germany(W.
Huber) and Korea. This study also suggests the vision of the ‘responsible society’,which set up at the World Council of Churches’s 1st assembly meeting held in Amsterdam in 1948.
In the view of the public theology, this study dealt with the civil movements in Korea. During the Roh Mu-Hyun administration, people have experienced the institutionalization of civil movement. However, the situation has been dramatically changed under the Lee Myung-Bak administration and the de-institutionalization of civil movement were progressed. In particular, it can be argued that Candle Demonstration in 2008 became one of the most influential factors to facilitate the de-institutionalization of civil movements.
Given the public theology, the researcher argues that church should support the institutionalization of the civil movement as a middleman in the civil society. In order to achieve this goal, the researcher suggests that church need to publish guidance books for political issues which is similar to the practices of churches in German.
