This paper will examine the limits and distortions of how preachers deal with political tensions and division circumstances in preaching, particularly in matters related to rising right-wing extremism and Christian nationalism in the South Korean context, and suggest a new homiletical method and direction to respond to the challenges and desire of justice, truth, reconciliation, and freedom.
This study analyzes the anti-democratic conflicts of South Korea, particularly focusing on the political injustice emerging from the alliance between conservative political forces and extreme right-wing Christianity. It examines the sermons of key pastors who lead and mobilize right-wing Christian groups, as well as those of major church pastors who are impotent in the current situation. Through this analysis, the study seeks to uncover the underlying problematic structures within these sermons. Finally, it explores the directions and theological discourse necessary for sermons that respond to political suffering and suggests practical structural forms for such preaching.
