ABSTRACT

The theme of Kang Won Don’s theology is Christian economic ethics. Since 1990, he has continued his academic journey by setting real-world economic issues as a subject of study from a consistent theological perspective. He recently wrote Christian Economic Ethics from the perspectives of theology, ethics, and social science. Kang Won Don’s Christian economic ethics methodology is to establish theological humanity as a basic foundation, set theological criteria, and form and develop social systems with a feasible maxim. He establishes “economic democracy” as a maxim that can be realized in the real economy. In this sense, Kang Won-don’s economic ethics can also be seen as belonging to the type of integration through which his human theory mediates between economics and ethics, based on theological humanity. In order to realize the plan of “economic democracy” to regulate the market economy socially and ecologically, workers’ authority and position are important. In addition, an ecological constitutional order that specifies the rights of nature in the constitution must be established.
