This book argues that spirituality is the modus operandi of our soul, body, and heart speaking and doing the Word of God, God-talk, or theology in everyday language. The book demonstrates this modus operandi of spirituality as a way of mystic science and reframe it with Korean indigenous concept maum. By so doing, the book suggests a new perspective and a way of doing an Asian feminist theology in conversation with constructive ethnography and anthropology as well.
So Jung Kim was the Associate for Theology in the Office of Theology and Worship of the Presbyterian Mission Agency, PCUSA.
