For this purpose, a Burmese word \u003ci\u003eLudu \u003c\/i\u003eis used to indicate the common people and a Buddhist term \u003ci\u003eDukkha \u003c\/i\u003ewill be employed to refer to their suffering. We can see the \u003ci\u003eLudu \u003c\/i\u003eas a \u003ci\u003edukkha\u003c\/i\u003e-ridden people in Myanmar context. Why do they suffer? Is their suffering the root cause of sin or the consequence of \u003ci\u003ekamma\u003c\/i\u003e – one’s deed, word or thought? As a Buddhist-dominated country, how do Buddhists respond their suffering? What about Christian minority’s response to this harsh situation? Can the \u003ci\u003eLudu\u003c\/i\u003e, both Christians and Buddhists, see how God is revealed in the midst of their suffering?\u003cbr\u003e In terms of suffering under oppression, \u003ci\u003eMinjung \u003c\/i\u003e(people\/mass) in the Korean context is somewhat similar to the situation of the \u003ci\u003eLudu \u003c\/i\u003ein Myanmar. In the 1970s, Minjung theology emerged during the era of military dictatorship in South Korea. How can \u003ci\u003eMinjung \u003c\/i\u003etheology be relevant for evolving a \u003ci\u003eLudu \u003c\/i\u003etheology in Myanmar?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«Khawsiama’s book can be regarded as an innovative achievement for Asian theology, a challenge for further discussion not just in the field of theology and – hopefully – a starting point for a new critical discourse on the contextualisation of the Christian faith in its intellectualised form vis-à-vis society and other religions.» (Dr. Hans-Bernd Zöllner)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: A Critical Evaluation of \u003ci\u003eMinjung \u003c\/i\u003eTheology – Towards A \u003ci\u003eLudu \u003c\/i\u003eTheology For Myanmar.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043630186839,"sku":"9783034314169","price":60.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034314169.jpg?v=1750958947","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/towards-a-ludu-theology-a-critical-evaluation-of-minjung-theology-and-its-implication-for-a-theological-response-to-the-dukkha-suffering-of-people-in-myanmar-burma-9783034314169","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
