{"product_id":"heart-of-the-cross-a-postcolonial-christology-9780664230630","title":"Heart of the Cross: A Postcolonial Christology","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheologies have often pointed to the cross as a place of suffering and sacrifice, while feminist critiques have frequently argued against interpretations of the cross as patriarchal valorizing of suffering. Wonhee Anne Joh points toward a new interpretation of the cross as a place of love, where God and humanity come together in a surprising way. Interpreting the cross as performing a double gesture that has a subversive effect, Joh argues that the cross works simultaneously to pay homage to and to menace complex oppressive powers. Utilizing the Korean concept of \u003ci\u003ejeong\u003c\/i\u003e, Joh constructs a theology that is feminist, political and love-centered, while acknowledging the cross as source of pain and suffering. Joh's innovative vision is a call for political love that is stronger than powers of oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wonhee Anne Joh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.28w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664230630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJoh, Wonhee Anne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eWonhee Anne Joh\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois.
