Minjung Theology
(865 words)
[German Version] The protagonists of the South Korean Minjung theology (Korea: IV) that emerged in the 1970s have always stressed that they, as Christians, only represent a minority within a much larger movement. The Sino-Korean name formed through the combination of the syllables
Min (people) and
Jung (mass) refers to the Korean people and their suffering under foreign rule and oppression. Centuries of Chinese domination, the Japanese colonization (1905–1945), the division of the country (1945), the Cold War, and a bloody civil war (1950–1…

Trinity/Doctrine of the Trinity
(11,509 words)
[German Version] ¶
I. Terminology To an unusual degree, the theology of the Trinity is characterized by a strained combination of narrative biblical language and speculative philosophical language. The word
trinitas was first used by Tertullian (
Prax. 2.1–4), as a translation of Greek τριάς/
triás (orig. “threeness”). To denote the divine unity (God: V, 1), the 4th-century debates showed that the term οὐσία/
ousí (“Essence”; see also Divine essence) borrowed from Greek philosophy was theologically legitimate. The term ὑπόστασις/
hypóstasis (Hypostasis) was sometimes used in the sense of
substantia (Substance) as a synonym for
ousía (as still in the Nicene Creed of 325), but also (since Origen) in the plural in the sense of
subsistentia as an expression for the different independent modes of being of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The plural usage became established in the formula μία οὐσία – τρεῖς ὑποστάσεις/
mía ousía –
treís hypostáseis (“one essence – three modes of being”). The Latin West, however, accustomed to using
substantia to translate ὑπόστασις, found the formula tendentially tritheistic (Trith…

I. Religious Studies, Systematics
1. Methodology. In defining the relationship between art and religion from the perspective of religious studies, one cannot speak of a universal concept of art and religion on the phenomenal level. To do comparative work, however, sufficient abstract characteristics must be established as a
tertium comparationis to enable a systematic examination of the relationship betwe…
