Prophetic TV to the Church? CBS Christian Now as an Insider Critic of Korean Protestantism.
Little has been written on religious TV shows featuring groups that may be called critical insiders: those who are committed to a religious tradition, yet are critical of how the tradition is believed, taught and practised by dominant institutions. In the early 2010s in South Korea, where Protestant...

In the early 2010s in South Korea, where Protestantism is still most strongly present in East Asia, Protestant activists involved in critical insider movements and like-minded media workers in Christian Broadcasting System collaborated together to broadcast a talk show critiquing popular teachings, beliefs and practices in Korean Protestant Christianity. By analysing this show – CBS Christian Now – together with the interviews I conducted with those involved in the production of the show, I explore the meaning of the use of broadcast media for religiously motivated insider critique even in the age of interactive social media. As a case study that showcases such movements, this paper also illustrates the kinds of struggles the participants had gone through. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Studies in World Christianity is the property of Edinburgh University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
