Embracing the Other

The Transformative Spirit of Love

About this book

An innovative Asian feminist perspective on God's Spirit We live in a time of great racial strife and global conflict. How do we work toward healing, reconciliation, and justice among all people, regardless of race or gender? In  Embracing the Other  Grace Ji-Sun Kim demonstrates that it is possible only through God's Spirit. Working from a feminist Asian perspective, Kim develops a new constructive global pneumatology that works toward gender and racial-ethnic justice. She draws on concepts from Asian and indigenous cultures to reimagine the divine as "Spirit God" who is restoring  shalom  in the world. Through the power of Spirit God, Kim says, our brokenness is healed and we can truly love and embrace the Other.
