A Gospel for Workers

History & Biography

“A Gospel for Workers: Cho Chi Song, Yeongdeungpo Urban Industrial Mission, and Minjung is the testimony of the life and witness of a creative and courageous prophet who offered, through his public witness, alternative models of being and becoming the church in the public sphere. This is not a hagiographical work to valorise one's mentor. Rather, this is a social biography, narrating how deep solidarity with the Minjung working class could transform the cartography of Christian mission. Inspirational and transformative.”

Intercultural Christology in John's Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Decolonizing Christology through subaltern and intercultural rereading of the Fourth Gospel is a fascinating work of academic brilliance and political commitment that Biju Chacko has accomplished through this groundbreaking book. Exploring the intercultural resonance and subaltern subversive rhetoric of John's Gospel, the book identifies this Gospel as one of resistance that emerged from a subaltern community, contesting and destabilizing the scripts and imaginations of the empire. Privileging the intercultural and subaltern context and ethos of the Johannine community, the book revisions Christ as a subaltern Messiah and proposes a planetary Christology. This book is a tutorial on christological counterimaginations and an essential resource for theological and praxeological mediations to create a world less contaminated by ideologies and practices of exploitation, domination, and exclusion.”
