신학과 페미니즘 = Feminism and Christian Theology

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

During the past thirty years, the feminist challenge of Christian theology has had a tremendous impact on the history and direction vis--vis Christianity. These challenges have taken several fronts, which includes harsh criticism on traditional theologies which are centered around an androcentric and sexist discourse which position women exclusive to nature. They have formulated new theologies which posit the equality among the sexes and the liberation of women. These feminist critiques and challenges of Christian theology re-examined the various theological structures, such as the basic assumptions, themes, and methodologies, and in turn a feminist theology developed, making a direct link between praxis and the liberation of women.
The purpose of this study is to make a critical analysis and highlight these processes from a feminist perspective as well as construct a feminist theology centered around the liberation of women. It will document as well as clarify the processes from which traditional theology has been challenged and altered by feminist thought. This study is based on two basic premises. First, it seeks to show that the centrality of feminist perspective. Second, it also seeks to understand the importance of theology as a constructive enterprise of human beings.
Based on these premises, this study is divided into three stages. The first step is to examine the introduction and acceptance of feminism by Christian theology, and the processes of formulating a new theology firm various historical, social, and cultural contexts. Unlike churches in the West, the process in Korea has been very slow in terms of accepting feminist theology and developing it in its indigenous form. One of the primary reasons has been the overwhelming conservative and patriarchal nature of the Korean Church and its resistance to open up to new theologies.
The second stage with the role of feminism vis--vis theology. As a critical theology, one of the first tasks feminism has been to critique the patriarchal ideology so deeply embedded in the traditional theology. The foundation of feminist ontology and epistemology provided the tools to recreate a new theology. Scholars drew on metaphors and images from feminist-philosophical positions as well as the experiences of women. The task of rediscovering and reconstructing a rich and long forgotten women's history in the church proved to be critical in creating a theology based on the liberation and dignity of women.
The third and final step deals with the changes in the systematic or theoretical dimensions of traditional theologies after its acceptance of feminism. One of the most significant changes has been women finding their place when practicing theology, acting as a subject and not object. Finally, this shift in theological paradigms has been the result of these feminist critiques.
