Zusammenfassung:A major call for contextualized Christianity was issued in Korea more than three decades ago, yet today there are very few examples of contextualized theology in Korea. I first review how contextualization has been dealt with in Korean Christianity. I then revisit the basic meaning of contextualization and emphasize the theological and reciprocal nature of the concept. Finally, I provide examples of what contextualized theology might look like in Korea, focusing on spiritual entities and ancestors, two topics that are prevalent in the Korean socioreligious context.
