This thesis is in search of "unity in difference" in 'Onjeong' (human being's warm hearted love) biblical hermeneutics on the basis of Korean and South African political and cultural contexts. The theme of difference was, explicitly and implicitly, directed into the stream of discrimination in the dimension of "questing for sameness." Under the motto of "becoming metaphoric Israelites," each group of Korean and South African political Bible readers identified themselves with metaphoric Israelites and explicitly discriminated against metaphoric non-Israelites in the name of imperialism, nationalism, classism, racism, and liberation movement. In addition, each type of Korean and South African cultural Bible readers dissolved the tension of difference on the dialectical dimension of "questing for sameness" towards "becoming Christians." However, under the strong influence of 'dichotomous discriminative Cartesian psyche' and 'the pressure of the discriminative political ideology', cultural Bible readers could not avoid the violence of the imposition of the grand narrative of "becoming metaphoric Israelites." 2014-10-06T11:46:21Z 2014-10-06T11:46:21Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8190 eng application/pdf Department of Religious Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
