Abstract
A comparative ethical study in the cross-cultural context becomes an arbiter in refurbishing the tradition of Christian theology in dialogue with other traditions of religious ethics, notably in postcolonial formation. Engaging Bonhoeffer’s ethics in the context of political minjung and Confucian ethics of rectification, I seek to mark the comparative ethical study as an enriched ream of creation. This aspect includes a multidimensional integrity of life for the sake of those who are fragile and vulnerable and upholds rectification of that which causes setback and predicament to the actual lives of people. The purpose of this paper is to appreciate a legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in East Asia, paving the way to a postcolonial reading of Bonhoeffer in a comparative and ethical framework.
