ABSTRACT

Exploring the possibility of ‘Christian feminism’ as a ‘church discourse,’ this study first analyzes the reasons why ‘Christian feminism’ failed to acquire knowledge power in Korean churches. The researcher notes the monopoly of church knowledge power by the ‘crisis ideology’ production group and the patriarchal structure of the Protestant faith overlooked by most early Protestant women as the main reasons. However, this study witnesses the current historical and theological reconstruction of the ‘Sophia tradition’ and the social changes in late-modern society that are gradually reducing gender restrictions as grounds for ‘Christian feminism’ to be established as a church discourse. With these ob- servations, this study prospects that ‘Christian feminism’ can contribute to the establishment of gender equality in the church and provide community-oriented vi- sion for a self-centered modern society.
