Book Description
In this thought-provoking exploration, liberation theologian Jung Mo Sung challenges readers to examine the hidden spiritual dimensions that shape our economic and social reality. Drawing connections between faith, hope, and the structures of power that govern contemporary life, Sung invites us to question the myths and beliefs that sustain current systems of inequality.
At the heart of this work lies a fundamental question about human nature: how do we maintain hope and meaning when confronted with the overwhelming complexity of modern society? Sung argues that hope functions as a vital force in human existence, as essential as our basic physical needs, because we are creatures who live through both material experience and symbolic meaning.
The author examines three interconnected themes that influence our capacity for transformation: our understanding of individual agency and responsibility, the intricate web of relationships that define contemporary social structures, and the role that visionary thinking plays in motivating social change. For those who dream of a world free from domination and oppression, Sung offers insights into why such efforts often encounter frustration and setbacks.
Rather than offering simple solutions, this theological reflection provides tools for deeper analysis of the spiritual and ideological forces that either support or challenge existing power structures. Sung's work speaks to anyone seeking to understand how faith, hope, and social justice intersect in the modern world.
