Introduction

Abstract

Chapter 1 introduces the book’s study, a feminist ethnography of second generation Korean American girls’ identity, gender, and theological formations in the Korean American immigrant church. It describes the origins of the author’s interest in the topic and the narrative and self-reflexive style and format of the book. Chapter 1 also describes the authors hopes for the book’s contribution to the wider scholarship in the field of Practical Theology and for a new gender affirming religious education for second-generation Korean American girls.
