Martin Luther and Buddhism: Aesthetics of soreness conscientiously lines the historic and theological context of Luther's leap forward when it comes to articulating justification and justice in connection to the be aware of God and divine soreness. Chung severely and constructively engages in discussion with Luther and with later interpreters of Luther comparable to Barth and Moltmann, putting the Reformer in discussion not just with Asian spirituality and religions but in addition with rising international theology of religions.
