Summary
At a moment of notably rising levels of anti-Asian hate, this book offers antiracist resources informed by Asian/North American feminist theology and biblical scholarship. Although there exist scholarly books and articles on Asian American theology (broadly defined) have proliferated in response to the current ethical, political, and cultural environment have been prolific, there have been few concerted efforts to interrogate or dismantle anti-Asian racism inseparable from anti-black racism, and white settler colonialism that have often undermined the communal spirit and livelihood of Christian churches in the current political climate. In the current political climate, COVID-related anti-Asian hate and racial conflict, which all intersect with gender and sexuality-based violence, require theological, moral, and political inquiries. Hence, this book notes the current paucity of work with critical discussions on the multiple facets of racism from Asian American feminist theological perspectives. Contributors deepen the inter/transdisciplinary approaches concerning how to dismantle racist theological teachings, biblical interpretations, liturgical presentations, and the Christian church's leadership structure. Keun-joo Christine Pae is Associate Professor of Religion/Ethics and Women's and Gender Studies at Denison University, Granville, Ohio. She is also Chair of the Religion Department. Boyung Lee is Professor of Practical Theology at Iliff School of Religion in Denver, Colorado. At Iliff, she was the Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty at the school from 2017 to 2022.
