“The primary concern of the
     Bible is our identity
 formation, that is, who we
   are in the grace of God
    rather than moralistic

 Interpretation must move beyond
 idealized and essentialist notions
of culture and a tendency to utilize
    the immigrant experience of
    marginality and liminality as
 normative of all Asian Americans
     to emphasize particularity,
  contradiction, and complexity in
   order to counter oversimplified
      personifications of what
    constitutes Asian American.

  • 40. “The primary concern of the Bible is our identity formation, that is, who we are in the grace of God rather than moralistic
  • 41. Asian American Biblical Interpretation must move beyond idealized and essentialist notions of culture and a tendency to utilize the immigrant experience of marginality and liminality as normative of all Asian Americans to emphasize particularity, contradiction, and complexity in order to counter oversimplified personifications of what constitutes Asian American.

  1. ahree lee created this film by taking a picture of herself everyday for three years. and what you see here is over the course of 3 years, this woman change aspects herself. we see the evolution of her hair, her glasses, her clothes. in some sense, her identity is shifting and in process.
  2. what does identity have to do with worship? this is the first half of a quote by the social theorist, marshall mcluhan. when God speaks a word, light is created, worlds are formed, order is shaped out of the chaos, and life orients itself around God. worship is all about that new orientation around God. but worship is an act of creation on our parts. it is where we put words together. our art, our architecture, our musical instruments, our voices and we create worship. which leads us to the second half of the marshall mcluhan quote...
  3. the worship we create is for God and for the body of Christ in the church. but that worship also shapes us. it reflects us, it reveals us, it hides us, and it forms us. in a very real sense, worship forms our identity. and our identity forms our worship. and this is where the traditional understanding of worship in church has been deficient, because in many korean-american churches, our vocabulary in worship is quite limited. in fact, most of our worship vocabulary are borrowed words. our arts are imitated arts. our churches are growing, but in a hollow sense because we are unaware of how our worship is shaping us as a people.
  4. so it seems a extended discussion on identity is necessary if we are going to explore emerging forms of worship. but let’s try and get our heads wrapped around the concept of identity. what is it? what do we mean when we’re talking about identity.
  5. with distinct, multiple definitions of identity, you can see why a conversation on identity is hard to place. at the very least, we understand there are a multiple identities (here are just a few of the big ones). some of them you are born with, some of them you can change, some of them are nurtured in a community, but we have all of these within us. or do we?
  6. the modern understanding of the self was that the individual was a blank slate, a tabula rasa. that your perceptions and your experiences fed your knowledge, and with knowledge, you are the one who formed your identity. Modernity assumed
  7. in the modern mind, knowledge is power. power gives you control over yourself, your surroundings, over others. identity in the modern sensibility is about progress, advance, utilitarianism, manipulation, laws, order, hierarchy. the individual remains at the center.
  8. the postmodern shift has also meant that we know that our identities represent different and competing narratives from different communities. our identities and our selves are “fuzzier” than before. we are torn. in dilemma. in crisis. dysfunctional. there are competing narratives and systems, various struggles for power and establishment of knowledge.
  9. and these tensions exist over different dimensions as well. with the self in the middle. there are layers of global culture, popular culture, and subculture towering on them. but these different layers of culture, while they all influence and impact, the various identities and selves, there is a clash. there is an economy happening at a very real level. these narratives are trying to re-write one another.
