Book Description
Korean women are nurtured in a culture dominated by patriarchy and often understand God within this context, another form of authority that is easily displeased and quick to judge. Although it is rare to find pastoral ministry programs sensitive to women's needs, the author shows how such programs would transform women's lives by introducing them to a God to love and understanding and empowering them to help transform society.

Women Struggling For a New Life
Author: Ai Ra Kim
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438409001
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Kim explores the religious impact, particularly that of the Korean Methodist Church, on the lives of Korean immigrant ilse (first generation) in the United States. To most of these women, America is new soil, and they need to adjust to a different cultural and social environment. Consequently, they may be confused and frustrated. As a community center, the Korean church plays a significant role in their lives. Kim examines the church, to determine if it is helpful or detrimental to these women as they adjust to their lives in the United States. Although the history of Korean immigrants in the United States is almost 100 years old, resources about Korean immigrants, particularly women, are scarce. These women have long been invisible and unheard in American society as well as in the Korean community and church. Their experiences as minority women and their painful struggle for survival in patriarchal Korean churches reflect not only the plight of women but also genuine human struggle.

Korean Women, Self-Esteem, and Practical Theology
Author: Jaeyeon Lucy Chung
Publisher: Palgrave Pivot
ISBN: 9783319695075
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book offers a critical-constructive study of Korean women’s self-esteem from a feminist practical theological perspective. Jaeyeon Lucy Chung recognizes two different and yet related problems: the absence of scholarly work on women’s self-esteem from non-white, non-Western groups in the field of practical theology, and the lack of attention to the low self-esteem prevalent in Korean women’s sociocultural and religious context. Chung employs in-depth interview studies while drawing on theoretical resources of psychology, theology, and cultural studies to develop a relational-communal theory of self-esteem, and a systematic, communal understanding of pastoral care practice. The project offers insights into the life experience of Korean women, especially self-esteem, and it reveals some of the ways self-esteem can be fostered.
