Summary: Since Christianity was Introduced to Korea more than a century ago, one of the most controversial issues has been the Korean term for the Christian God. This issue is not merely about naming the Christian God in Korean language, but it relates to the question of theological contextualization-the relationship between the gospel and culture-and the question of Korean Christian identity. Naming God in Korea examines the theological contextualization of the concept of God in the contemporary Korean context and applies the translatability of Christianity to that context. In this book Sung-wook Hong not only examines questions of contextualization, he also demonstrates the nature of the gospel's relationship to human cultures, that is, the universality of the gospel expressed in all human cultures.
