This in-depth study on preaching to second generation Korean
Americans, the first of its kind, is based on empirical and
ethnographic fieldwork. Matthew D. Kim conducted surveys and
semi-structured qualitative interviews with Korean American pastors
and second generation young adult respondents in three geographic
regions of the United States: the Midwest, the West Coast, and the
East Coast. His primary conceptual framework employs social
psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius’ theory of possible
selves to facilitate the process of congregational exegesis in the
second generation Korean American church context.
This book offers a new contextual homiletic model that enables Korean
American preachers to engage in deeper levels of ethnic and cultural
analysis in their sermonic preparation. Simultaneously, the author
reconstructs conventional preaching roles of Korean American preachers
and second generation listeners so that they may co-creatively imagine
new possible selves that radically advance Christian mission and
practice in the world.
This book will serve as a primary or secondary source for upper-level
undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate courses on preaching,
communication studies, ethnic and racial studies, cross-cultural
ministry, or social psychology.
