AB - The present era, which forms a community and a global village, is a religiously pluralist society, with the emphasis on the public concern or public good of religion, and inter-religious dialogue and solidarity are further requested by the universal order of world peace. Therefore, efforts for inter-religious understanding and cooperation are generally well made worldwide. However, it is also true that Christianity has fundamental difficulties in actively participating in inter-religious dialogue and cooperation, as it has the nature of exclusive soteriology due to its monotheistic faith.
However, this paper identified God’s nature as “justice” and “love,” and argued that “real” is reality, and the foundation of eternity and truth, and that God’s justice and love were realized in reality through Moses and Jesus, so it should be realized again in modern times.
The theology that testifies to the existence of God, should be expanded in the history of realities, and especially in terms of social-ethical aspects, justice should be realized in the political realm, while love should be realized in the economic realm. This was sought chiefly by the Liberation Theology in Latin America and the Minjung (a People) Theology in South Korea. This practical theology, which has the feature of participating directly in reality and society, is presented as ‘Engaged Theology’ as a broader concept in this paper, and through this ‘Engaged Theology’, Christianity can more actively participate in inter-religious solidarity to realize universal love for humanity, such as loving-kindness, compassion and benevolence, as well as justice.
