Chung Hyun Kyung (born May 15, 1956) is a South Korean Christian theologian.
Her teaching and research interests include feminist and ecofeminist theologies and spiritualities from Asia, Africa and Latin America; Christian–Buddhist interfaith dialogue; disease and healing in varied religious backgrounds; mysticism and revolutionary social change; as well as the history and critical issues of various Asian Christian theologies.
In it, she responds to the emerging liberation theology which argues for Christianity's preferential option for the poor.
She interprets the Gospel through her experience as an Asian woman: In 1991, she was invited to speak at a World Council of Churches gathering in Canberra, Australia.
Her speech[3] created a furor and she was accused of syncretism, that is, combining Christian teachings and practices with elements of other traditions.
