Shoki Coe


Shoki Coe (Chinese: 黃彰輝; Wade–Giles: Chang Hui Hwang; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: N̂g Chiong-hui; August 20, 1914–October 28, 1988) was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, erstwhile principal of Tainan Theological Seminary and director of the Theological Education Fund of the World Council of Churches. Through the Theological Education Fund, he is widely known for his coinage of the notion of "contextualizing theology," later better known as "contextual theology," which argues for theology's need to respond to the sociopolitical concerns of a local context.

His name reveals several layers of complexity in his own sense of identity. He was given the name Chang Hui Hwang (or C. H. Hwang) at birth, a name he published under in 1968. However, the name he chose to publish under in the 1970s and 1980s was Shoki Coe, the Anglicized version of his name in Japanese, reflecting the context of the Taiwan of his birth under Japanese rule.
