Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book serves as a case study, delving into the unique challenges faced by the “global generation” as they navigate the complexities of their hybrid identities. Heesung Hwang, drawing from her extensive experience as both a minister and theologian, presents a compelling vision for religious education inspired by the traditional Korean concept of madang. In this open space, faith communities gather to engage in communal interaction, fostering generative environments where all members are valued and their contributions esteemed. Through the lens of madang, Hwang invites readers to reimagine religious education as a holistic experience that transcends traditional boundaries, encompassing storytelling, conversation, play, and relationship-building. This transformative work challenges religious educators to embrace innovative approaches that honor the diverse cultural and religious backgrounds of young people, ultimately paving the way for redemptive communities that empower the next generation to shape new cultural and religious expressions within society. Reframing Christian Education for a Global Generation promises to ignite important conversations and inspire meaningful change within faith communities worldwide.
