'Martin Luther and Buddhism: Aesthetics of Suffering' carefully
traces the historical and theological context of Luther's
breakthrough in terms of articulating justi?cation and justice in
connection to the Word of God and divine suffering. Chung
critically and constructively engages in dialogue with Luther, and
with later interpreters of Luther such as Barth and Moltmann,
placing the Reformer in dialogue not only with Asian spirituality
and religions but also with an emerging global theology of
religions. "After reading, I decided to recommend all students and
anyone interested in theology in Europe, America, and Asia urgently
and repeatedly to read it." - Jurgen Moltmann, Professor Emeritus,
University of Tubingen, Germany "Dr. Chung is engaged in a deeply
theological re?ection about Buddhism and Protestantism. His work is
original and profound." - John B. Cobb Jr., Ingraham Professor
Emeritus, Claremont School of Theology "Of all the 'turns' in
Luther studies, the turn to Asia, so eloquently and powerfully
heralded by Paul Chung, might end up being the most signi?cant one
both ecumenically and theologically. As a scholar fully conversant
with both the best of Western and Asian traditions, Dr. Chung is
uniquely quali?ed to help us read not only in Buddhist context but
also in a wider contextual and global horizon. This is the
direction of international systematic-hermeneutical theology for
the third millennium " - Veli-Matti Karkkainen, Professor of
Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, and Docent of
Ecumenics, University of Helsinki "The book 'Martin Luther and
Buddhism' by Paul Chung is a fascinating attempt to develop an
emancipatory theology of religions in the Asian context of poverty
and suffering as well as of religious plurality." - Ulrich Duchrow,
Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Heidelberg
"Bringing together Luther's theology with Buddhist understanding as
embedded in Asian culture is a huge challenge. Dr. Chung takes on
this challenge with a far-ranging breadth of knowledge and creative
insight, especially for interfaith dialogue." - Karen L.
Bloomquist, Director, Theology and Studies, Lutheran World
Federation, and Adjunct Professor of Theological Ethics, Wartburg
Theological Seminary PAUL S. CHUNG is Assistant Professor of
Lutheran Witness and World Christianity at Wartburg Theological
Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa.
