Kim, Chi-Ha

(b. 1941)

   Theologian and Rebel.

   Kim was educated at the Seoul National University in Korea. As a political activist in the 1960s, he was imprisoned and tortured. Many of his writings were produced in response to that experience and have become important texts of Min-Jung theology. Min-Jung is an indigenous theology which has similarities to Latin American liberation theology.
