God Who Is Not, Yet Is

Dasŏk Ryu Young-mo’s Theology of Non-Being Ahn Kyu-sik 2026 | 298pp pb | ISBN: 978-1-917059-80-0 For centuries, Christian theology has been anchored in the familiar category of Western ‘Being.’ In this profound exploration, Kyu-sik Ahn invites us to journey beyond these conceptual shores and into the meontological depths of the Korean thinker, Dasŏk Ryu Young-mo. At the silent heart of this inquiry lies the ultimate paradox: the “God Who Is Not, Yet Is.” Moving beyond the mere negation of existence, this work invites us into a meditative encounter with the Divine as a generative Non-Being—the boundless ‘Void of Love’ that breathes through and sustains all existence. Through the indigenous Korean spiritualities of ‘Emptiness’ and ‘Breath’, Ahn offers a lucid reconstruction of the core pillars of Christian faith, reimagining the doctrines of God, Christology, Pneumatology, the Trinity, and Anthropology with a serene yet piercing intellectual clarity. God Who Is Not, Yet Is provides a spiritually anchoring and intellectually luminous framework for our post-Western age. For those seeking a deeper theological imagination amidst the noise of the twenty-first century, this volume serves as a quiet, essential guide to the life-giving depth of the Divine.
