AB - The purpose of this paper is to analyze Byeong-Mu Ahn’s reunification theory based on his minjung theory. Minjung theology emerged in the 1970s from the experience of Korean Christians in the struggle for the restoration of the rights of minjung. Ahn regarded ‘minjung’(民衆, ὄχλος) as the people who are scorned and oppressed by the powerful military dictator and dictatorship. On the basis of minjung theology, he urged that minjung should initiate the practice to overcome the division of South and North Korea and to accomplish the reunification. He thought that a unified Korea is a essential component of Korean national identity. This study is conducted to investigate Ahn’s reunification theory through his Korean National Movement and Reunification and to analyze the basic outline of the main ideas such as the awakening of national reunification(step1), overcoming trends of anti-reunification(step2), reunification by minjung(step3), the practice of the way of peace based on minjung theory(step4), and so on. The meaningful points Ahn left behind us on the basis of his reunification theory could be summarized as follows: the theological reflection on reunification theory, new paradigm for peaceful reunification, peaceful reunification strategy and practice of peace, withdrawal of ethnic conflict, the emphasis on spirit of national reunification, and the activity of reunification education.
