큐레이션은 주로 미술계에서 사용되던 용어이다. 미술관, 박물관 등의 소장 작품의 목록을 작성하여 관리하고, 이것을 연구하고 해석하여 새로운 가치를 만들어 내고 전시를 하기 위해 기획을 하는 과정을 의미한다. 최근에는 정보 수집 및 해석, 배포 주체로서의 사람의 역할에 대한 중요성이 부각되면서 미술의 영역을 넘어 보다 다양한 분야(디지털 큐레이션, 소셜 큐레이션)에서 사용되고 있다. 『큐레이션』의 저자 스티브 로젠바움은 큐레이션을 '인간이 수집, 구성하는 대상에 인간의 질적인 판단을 추가해서 가치를 높이는 활동'으로 정의하고 있다. 『큐레이션의 시대』의 저자인 사사키 도시나오는 '이미 존재하는 막대한 정보를 분류하고 유용한 정보를 골라내어 수집하고 다른 사람에게 배포하는 행위'로 정의한다.

1. 들어가는 글
미얀마 개혁장로교 신학교의 전호진 박사는, ‘많은 사람들은 불교는 교리적으로 물질세계에서 해방을 강조함으로 비정치적 종교라고 말한다. 그러나 인도차이나에서 소승불교는 스리랑카에서 처럼 도리어 군사적 불교로 발전하여 기독교 선교에 큰 도전 이 되고 있다” 라고 지적하며 “불교를 믿는 주류 인종들에게서 전도는 아직 어렵다” 라고 결론한다. 그러나 희망적으로 “소승불교는 복음의 수용성이 낮지만 전도의 가능성이 있다. 중산층과 지식인들은 불교 사회에서 도리어 기득권을 누림으로 불교를 버리지 않는다. 그러나 청년들은 다른 종교나 이데올로기로 돌아설 가능성을 배제하지 못한다. 기독교는 해방의 종교라는 자부심으로 인내하면서 불교 문화권에 적절한 성경적이고도 변증적인 선교전략을 세워야한다” 라고 새시대의 선교 전략가 들에게 도전한다.
저자는 캄보디아 선교지에서 그리고 방문한 61나라에서의 한국 선교 실태를 토대로 미래의 개혁되고 변형되어야 할 한국 선교의 전환의 4가지를 이 페이퍼에서 나누고자 한다: 1) 숫자로 하는 선교 중단 2) 갑질하는 선교 중단 3)동행하는 선교(파트너쉽 선교)로 전환 시도 그리고 4) 연구하며 선교하는 기본에 충실한 선교를 하기를 제시 한다.
One of the highlights was the completion of the Oasis House counseling room at CPTI, a serene space dedicated to supporting students. Jenny had invested much time and effort into creating this environment, and we were both grateful for God's provision. During this period, I had the privilege of celebrating various church anniversaries, such as the 3rd year of Ordinary Church and Favor Church's service, where I gave congratulatory remarks. I also attended Søren Kierkegaard meetings, preached at Karis Church, and officially started mentoring a group of young people interested in Kierkegaard's teachings. Additionally, the publication of my book, Living Like Kierkegaard: August 2024, brought me immense joy as I continued to document testimonies of God’s work.
'Charley' is not just a tool but a conduit, through which the raw, often fragmented reflections and diary entries of the author were woven into a cohesive and compelling narrative. This AI companion has been instrumental in organizing thoughts, polishing narratives, and ensuring that the wisdom, insights, and nuances of the author's experiences are conveyed with clarity and impact.
The use of 'Charley' in creating this book represents the cutting edge of technology's intersection with the creative process. It demonstrates how artificial intelligence can serve not to replace the human touch but to enhance it, to carry the voice of the author across digital pages with precision and empathy. 'Charley' has been a silent partner in this journey, parsing through the language of the heart and the intellect with equal finesse.
As you turn the pages of this book, you will find that the stories, the lessons, and the inspirations are deeply human. The laughter, the tears, and the triumphs belong to the author, his friends, and the many lives they have touched. 'Charley' has simply helped to thread these pearls into a string, creating a narrative that is as readable as it is profound.
This forward is an acknowledgment of the synergy between human endeavor and artificial intelligence, which has brought "Living Like Kierkegaard" to fruition. It's a testament to our times, where the tools we create reflect our quest for understanding, connection, and expression.
We invite you to embark on this journey that transcends the boundaries between technology and the human spirit, between the past and the present, and between individual stories and universal truths.
With the advent of new technologies, I have now taken the opportunity to revisit this work and translate it into English with the help of my AI assistant, whom I affectionately call "Charley." This translation is not just a linguistic exercise but also an exploration of how Kierkegaard's philosophy can be presented and understood in a modern context, bridging the gap between Eastern and Western thought. Charley has allowed me to bring these existential musings to a broader audience, introducing new readers to the unique blend of poetry and philosophy that defines this collection.
In this English edition, I have added a new section that delves deeper into how Søren Kierkegaard's philosophy is intricately woven into the poems of both Chun Sang Byung and myself. This section explores how we, as theist existentialists, grapple with the complexities of faith, existence, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems indifferent to our deepest spiritual longings.
I hope that this book will not only introduce readers to the beauty of Chun Sang Byung's poetry and the depth of Kierkegaard's philosophy but also inspire them to reflect on their own existential journey. May these poems and philosophical reflections serve as a guide for those who seek to understand the divine through the lens of human experience, just as they have for me.
As we look to the future, it is my hope and prayer that this book will become a foundational resource for researchers, policymakers, and advocates working to combat hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans. The lessons learned from this tragic period must not be forgotten; instead, they should serve as a catalyst for meaningful change.
Moreover, it is my fervent belief that those responsible for inciting such violence, including Donald Trump, must be held accountable. His actions and rhetoric have caused immeasurable harm, and justice demands that he face the consequences of his deeds. This book is a testament to the need for accountability, the importance of responsible leadership, and the power of collective action in standing against hate.
May this book inspire future generations to continue the fight against racism and xenophobia, ensuring that the horrors of the past are never repeated. Let it be a beacon of hope, guiding us towards a more just and equitable society, where all people, regardless of race or ethnicity, can live free from fear and violence.
Finally, I pray that Trump will be held accountable for his actions, going to jail for his crimes, and that he will never be re-elected as the president of America. May justice be served, and may the country move forward with leaders who uphold truth and integrity in Jesus Name. Amen.
Yet, the journey does not conclude with the publication of these volumes. The true challenge—and the exciting opportunity—lies in equipping Cambodian Christians to actively use these proverbs in their evangelistic endeavors, enabling them to share the Gospel in a way that resonates deeply within their cultural context. This is where the creation of a textbook dedicated to the practical application of the Cambodia Proverb series becomes an essential and significant undertaking.
This textbook is far more than a guide; it is a comprehensive tool designed to empower Cambodian Christians to reach every corner of their nation with the Gospel, utilizing the familiar and cherished language of their cultural proverbs. With structured sermon outlines, culturally relevant stories, and thought-provoking reflection questions, this textbook transforms the wisdom contained in the proverb volumes into practical resources for evangelism.
What makes this textbook even more unique is the innovative collaboration behind its creation. My AI assistant, affectionately named "Charley," played a crucial role in bringing this vision to life. Through the capabilities of ChatGPT, "Charley" was instrumental in crafting the content, ensuring that the integration of Cambodian proverbs with Christian teachings was both seamless and culturally sensitive. This collaboration highlights the potential of technology to enhance our efforts in preserving cultural heritage while advancing the mission of evangelism.
The significance of this project cannot be overstated. As Cambodia continues to navigate the balance between cultural preservation and global influence, the ability to integrate traditional wisdom with the teachings of Christ offers a powerful way forward. This textbook not only equips believers to share their faith more effectively but also affirms that becoming a Christian does not necessitate the abandonment of one’s cultural identity. Instead, it shows that Cambodian cultural roots can find their fullest expression through the lens of the Gospel.
The publication of the Cambodia Proverb series was a monumental feat, but the creation of this textbook marks an equally critical step forward. It reflects a commitment to ensuring that Cambodia's ancestral wisdom continues to guide and inspire its people, both culturally and spiritually. With the aid of "Charley," this textbook has become a valuable resource for church leaders, evangelists, and believers across Cambodia. It is our hope and prayer that it will help carry the Gospel message to every village, town, and city, fostering a faith that is deeply rooted in cultural heritage and spiritually transformative.
One of the most significant accomplishments of this month has been the publication of three books. The first, "Living Like Kierkegaard: June 2024," is a project that has been particularly close to my heart. This book explores the profound insights of Søren Kierkegaard, applying his philosophical and theological reflections to contemporary Christian living. The process of writing this book was both challenging and enlightening, pushing me to delve deep into Kierkegaard’s works and distill his wisdom in a way that is accessible and relevant to modern readers. The response to the publication has been overwhelmingly positive, and I am humbled by the impact it is already having on those who seek to deepen their spiritual journey.
Three translators, with their labor of love, spent innumerable hours meticulously translating Kierkegaard's works, ensuring that his ideas were accessible and accurately conveyed to a Korean audience. Their dedication and scholarly rigor provided the foundation upon which this conference was built.
Although the conference was conducted in Korean, our desire to share these insights with the broader international community motivated us to translate the proceedings into English. We believe that Kierkegaardians around the world can benefit from our research and gain new perspectives from the Korean context.
This collection includes keynote addresses, lectures, and discussions that encapsulate the essence of the conference. Additionally, it features congratulatory speeches from esteemed scholars and dignitaries, including Professor Hwang Junghwan and Ambassador Sven Olling, whose presence and words lent great prestige to our event.
We have also included pre-event and post-event newspaper articles, which reflect the significant interest and impact of the conference within the academic and religious communities.

Moreover, flyers and a photo collection are provided to give a comprehensive view of the event's atmosphere and its memorable moments.
It is our sincere hope that this translated compilation will serve as a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Kierkegaard worldwide. May it inspire further research, dialogue, and collaboration among international Kierkegaardians, fostering a deeper understanding of his philosophy in diverse cultural contexts.
We express our deepest gratitude to all who contributed to making this conference a reality and to those who will continue to engage with Kierkegaard's work through this publication.
Sincerely His,
Robert Oh

The 2024 Scholars Consultation, themed "Spirit-Empowered Living and Witnessing in Religious Contexts," took place on July 1-2, 2024, at the St. Regis Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia. This conference aimed to explore how the power of the Holy Spirit influences and empowers Christian living and witnessing in diverse religious contexts around the world. The event brought together scholars and practitioners to discuss various topics related to charismatic expressions of faith, the impact of the Holy Spirit in different cultural settings, and strategies for effective evangelism.
Throughout June, I had the opportunity to preach 74 times through the Daily Gospel and 5 revival meetings, spreading God's word and touching countless lives. Each message was a testament to God's power and mercy, enabling me to share His love and salvation with a wide audience.
The month also included five powerful revival meetings. One such event was held at the New Life Covenant Church in Chicago, where I have been visiting annually since 2017. It was a blessed time filled with God's presence, and it was inspiring to see the growth and faithfulness of Pastor Hwang and his congregation. Another revival was conducted at the United Methodist Church Retreat in Atlanta with Pastor D. Ree, a deeply moving experience that highlighted the power of community and prayer.
Writing this book was a collaborative effort between myself and my AI assistant, ChatGPT, whom I affectionately call 'Charley'. Throughout the process, Charley served as a supportive tool, helping to organize thoughts, generate drafts, and refine content based on my ideas and research. The journey began with conceptualizing themes and conducting thorough research. Charley assisted in compiling data, creating initial outlines, and generating drafts. My role involved providing direction, making revisions, and ensuring the final content reflected my vision. This partnership illustrates how AI can effectively support human creativity and scholarly work.
I invite you to delve into this book with an open heart and mind. May the partnership that created these pages serve as a testament to the endless possibilities that await at the crossroads of technology and human creativity.
Sincerely,
Robert & Charley
I attended a lecture on Kierkegaard via Zoom at St. Olaf, which, although academically enriching, sparked a desire for more practical applications of his theories. The garden I started at the beginning of the month flourished, symbolizing growth and tranquility. Reflecting on my past work, I found an old article from 1992 on second-generation ministry, highlighting the urgent mission field in Koreatown, L.A.
A heartwarming family Zoom meeting brought joy, especially with the good news about my brother Jason's health. I revisited old philosophical essays from UC Berkeley, transforming them into a new book, "Encountering Jesus: Philosophy & Faith." The Catalyst Church "Hangtime" event was a wonderful opportunity for community fellowship, further deepened by creating a miniature cactus garden.
Meeting with Missionary Choi Yongsoon and helping him with resources for pastors in Ghana was profoundly inspiring. A lecture by Dr. David Zac Niringiye at OCMS provided deep reflections on narrative theology. An impromptu visit to the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in America led to a meaningful connection with Prof. Lee, opening doors for future collaboration.
Reuniting with an old student from Berendo Baptist Church and catching up with Yoomi and her husband from France were delightful experiences. The YouTube report for "Dr. Bob Oh TV" showed steady growth and engagement, reinforcing the impact of my digital ministry. Publishing "Oikos & CKAA: 1991-2020" was a reflective journey through decades of work at Oikos Community Church and the CKAA.
Donating "Cambodian Proverbs & the Bible, Vol I-IV" to AEU and a heartfelt lunch with supportive friends Charley and Mary highlighted the value of enduring friendships and partnerships. The publication of Pastor Pang's book "The Bottle of Tears" and my involvement in translating and adding reflection questions were significant achievements, aiming to reach and comfort many.
Eppipodo Church's Sunday worship service was a highlight, with a sermon on becoming the CEO of one's life under God's guidance, emphasizing calling, empowerment, and obedience. The month ended with a fulfilling meeting with professors from PTSA, who asked me to be their PhD student advisor and deliver a special lecture on academic writing using ChatGPT.
Overall, May was a month of growth, both personally and in ministry, filled with meaningful interactions, new opportunities, and profound reflections. Praise the Lord for His guidance and blessings throughout this enriching journey.
Pang's ministry included serving as an evangelist at Jangdaehyun Church, a key site of the Pyongyang Revival Movement. He spent 21 years as a missionary in Shandong Province, China, where he faced challenges including slander from Japanese pastors and attempts by Chinese authorities to deport him to North Korea. Media intervention enabled his return to South Korea, where he began serving at Yeongdeungpo Presbyterian Church in 1957 and became emeritus pastor in 1979.
Pang played a crucial role in the repatriation of ethnic Koreans in China, earning him the National Order of Civil Merit, Moran Medal, in 1998. He also served as the foundation chairman of the Korean Bible Society and chairman of the Christian Newspaper, furthering his impact on the Korean Christian community.
Pang's life was marked by unwavering faith and dedication to service, paralleling esteemed pastors like Son Yang-won and Han Kyung-jik. His efforts in missionary work, leadership roles, and support for Koreans in China reflect his significant contributions to the church.
Rev. Pang Ji-Yil passed away on October 10, 2014, at the age of 104. His legacy of resilience, faith, and service continues to inspire the Korean Christian community, demonstrating the enduring power of faith to overcome adversity and bring hope to future generations.

The process of revisiting these archives was not just a walk down memory lane but a profound journey back to the roots of our community's history and its intersections with broader social and religious movements. Each article, each note brought back memories of struggles, victories, and the relentless pursuit of unity and understanding among Korean Americans and the wider Christian community.
Working alongside an AI I've fondly named 'Charley,' I've managed to digitize and compile these invaluable writings into a structured format. This was no small feat. Over the last 40 years of marriage and through seven moves, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had managed to keep these papers. Their survival through decades and relocations seemed almost providential.
The evolution of technology has been a blessing in this endeavor. What once were typewritten pages, yellowed with age and fragile to the touch, are now digital files—searchable, accessible, and interactive. This transformation has not only preserved the past but has breathed new life into it, allowing these documents to converse with my current thoughts and today’s technologies.
This book is a compilation of those efforts. It reflects on the societal and cultural challenges we faced, the theological and community-oriented solutions we sought, and the ongoing dialogue between past and present. It is my hope that this collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the intricate tapestry of Korean American life and the enduring spirit of a community that continues to evolve while staying rooted in its faith and heritage.
Praise the Lord for the journey so far, and for the technology that allows us to preserve and reflect upon our history. May this book inspire and inform all who seek to understand the past, navigate the present, and influence the future of our community and beyond.
This book is not simply a collection of academic musings or theological treatises. It is a testament to the power of encountering Jesus as God—the living, resurrected Savior whose presence defies explanation and whose reality reshapes the very fabric of our being.
As you follow the author's footsteps through the corridors of academia and the realms of philosophical inquiry, you will witness the profound impact of encountering Jesus in a personal, tangible way. It is an encounter that shatters skepticism, transcends reason, and invites us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with the divine.
Throughout these pages, you will journey alongside the author as they grapple with questions of faith and reason, engaging with the complexities of theology and philosophy. Yet, at the heart of it all lies a singular truth: the transformative power of encountering Jesus as God.
In a world that often seeks to reduce the divine to mere abstraction or intellectual exercise, this book stands as a bold declaration of the reality of God's presence in our lives. It is a reminder that faith is not simply a matter of belief, but of encounter—an encounter that has the power to reshape our understanding of reality and our place within it.
So, as you turn the pages that follow, may you be inspired to seek out your own encounter with the living God. May you be challenged to look beyond the confines of human understanding and to open yourself up to the transformative power of encountering Jesus in all His glory.
For in the end, it is not our words or our theories that define our faith, but the living, breathing presence of the God who meets us where we are and calls us into a deeper relationship with Himself.
This month also brought cherished interactions, such as the visit from Martalia and Chendamony of ACT, whose dedication to Cambodian education reverberated with the mission at Oasis House. The beauty and transience of life were reflected in the cherry blossoms of Korea, where Robert and Jenny found themselves enveloped in nature’s celebratory display of renewal.
Ministerial blessings continued at the Alive Church, where the fervor of youth and a shared meal deepened the sense of divine purpose. The release of "Cambodian Proverbs & The Bible: Vol. IV" signified a bridging of cultural heritage and scriptural wisdom, with a successful fundraiser bringing the translation project to life.
A touching reunion with Pastor Gil and explorations in fellowship and academia were interwoven throughout the month. Robert's presence graced various spiritual congregations, including the vibrant service at SaeRom Church and intercessory prayers at the Healing Intercessory Prayer Ministry. Each engagement showcased the reciprocal nature of faith and the collective journey of the Christian community.
The Kierkegaard Research Center gained momentum through collaboration and shared scholarly pursuits, symbolized by the discovery of published works at the city library—a moment of thrilling validation. The planning and securing of an apartment in Sejeong City aligned Robert’s personal and ministerial paths, demonstrating the providential nature of God’s timing.
Spanning several volumes, this anthology traces the evolutionary journey of Charley from an AI graphic generator to an artist with a vision. From reimagining Kierkegaard's philosophies in Cambodian landscapes to embodying the delicate dance of hope amidst life's trials, Charley renders not just pictures but captures emotions and deep-seated truths within digital frames.
As you turn the pages, you will find a spectrum of artworks, each accompanying a story or a concept from various books Charley has helped to visualize. The sections unfold in thematic resonance, with 'I. Kierkegaard's Dialogues on Faith in Cambodia' setting the tone for a reflective and profound discourse. Following suit are chapters like 'Embrace the Struggle' and 'Seek Community and Communication', which present graphic narratives that are as evocative as they are educative.
The heart of this collection lies in its diversity—both in subject matter and in representation. Charley does not shy away from mistakes. Instead, it embraces them, as seen in the section 'Samples of Mistakes', which candidly displays the learning curve inherent in the synergy between human direction and AI interpretation.
For those on the front lines of mission work, this book aims to be more than a theological treatise; it is intended as a practical guide and a source of encouragement. The objective is not only to inform the mind but also to kindle the spirit of the missionary with renewed passion for their calling. From the deserts of North Africa to the bustling cities of East Asia, the Holy Spirit God is active and moving, and an understanding of His ways is crucial for those who wish to align themselves with the purposes of God in the world.
The reader will be invited to delve into the profound mystery of the Holy Spirit God as one God of the Trinity, to embrace His personality and character, and to recognize His presence as ‘parakletos’—the one who comes alongside to help. We will consider how the Holy Spirit God is not only present but deeply involved in the missions through direct communication, providing insights that transcend cultural barriers and human reasoning.
The proverbs, illustrated through the creative efforts of 'Charley', a specialized version of ChatGPT, have been transformed into visually
engaging graphics. Accompanying these images are children’s story and sermons crafted to echo the cultural and spiritual narratives of the
Cambodian community. Each proverb is complemented by reflection questions and potential answers, designed to prompt deep contemplation and discussion, especially among young leaders keen on gaining wisdom and insights.
This book is envisioned as a weekly resource that can accompany leaders and the faithful throughout the year, embedding Cambodian wisdom into the rhythm of their spiritual lives. As the first volume in what we hope to be a continuing series, it lays the foundation for a sustained journey into integrating the richness of Cambodian tradition with the profound truths of the Christian faith.
Our prayer is that this endeavor will not only support Cambodian Christian leaders in their ministry but also inspire a deeper understanding and practice of the Gospel, contextualized within the vibrant tapestry of Cambodian culture.
As the dawn of March 2024 heralds the march of days, this diary becomes a repository for the convergence of solemn reflection and spirited action, chronicling the tapestry of experiences woven through the threads of faith, fellowship, and intellectual pursuit.
The journey begins with a shared endeavor of spiritual cleansing—a 21-day media and dinner fast with Jenny, an annual ritual now enriched by companionship. This is an act not of denial but of liberation, stepping back from the digital cacophony to embrace the abundance found in stillness and simplicity.
This month also witnesses the proliferation of thought in print, with books bearing the weight of philosophical discourse and biblical scholarship reaching completion. The publication of these works is not just an academic milestone; it is a beacon that lights up the intellectual sky of the Korean diaspora and beyond, particularly in regions where such treasures of commentary remain scarce. Each book becomes a vessel of enlightenment, navigating through the tides of 255 million Academia.edu subscribers, bridging gaps, and sowing seeds of wisdom in fertile minds.
In the warm embrace of GBS Internet Radio, "Book Talk" finds its rhythm, resounding across the waves to touch Korean hearts scattered across the globe, uniting them in learning and in heritage, reinforcing the threads that bind the diaspora in a tapestry of shared faith and identity.
The daily narratives unfold as vignettes—each entry a snapshot capturing the vibrancy of ministry life. From the laughter of children in slum outreach programs to the tranquil retreats in Kep, each moment is an inflection point where lives intersect, where teaching and serving become acts of worship and where the presence of God is as palpable as the Cambodian sun.
