Abstract
Context matters. The Korean reading of the Bible must be different from others in that their lived experiences pose new questions to the text. Unique to the Korean context is the division of North and South. A people united for more than a millennium have been severed into two independent, hostile, political entities. The people of two Koreas continue to live through a complexity of division in unity. How does this Korean context help us better understand the complexity of the north-south relations in the Hebrew Bible? Informed by the Korean context, this chapter stresses the duality inherent in Judah’s relations with Israel. It is critical to distinguish the ideal of unity from the reality of division.
