Female Images of God in Christian Worship: In the Spirituality of
TongSungGiDo of the Korean Church examines problems that arise from
the use of exclusively patriarchal images in modern Christian
worship. The author asserts that female images in the Bible could
help worshippers find a relationship with God and provide
encouragement and comfort in difficult situations. As a Korean
Christian, MyungSil Kim explores the possibilities of employing
God's female images in the services of the Korean Church, noting
that Korea's native religions, the ancient religions and Muism, had
many female deities unlike patriarchal foreign religions such as
Buddhism and Confucianism. These female deities have comforted the
Korean people when they experienced han, a distinctive emotion of
deep sadness and resentment that is characteristically Korean.
TongSungGiDo, the unique Korean prayer style of communal lament,
provides an opportune space and time for the consideration of
female images in the Bible. MyungSil Kim examines how female images
could more effectively function in the context of TongSungGiDo in
accordance with traditional practices to express the
complementarity among the concepts of han, lament, female images of
God, and prayer. This book is strongly grounded on biblical
studies, feminist studies, Christian ethics, and religious studies,
including principles of inculturation. The volume is a valuable
resource to pastors who are sensitive about language justice in
worship and to those seeking to explore feminist theology and
particularly feminist liturgical studies.
