A yinist paradigm: definitions and perspectives -- Why Asian/Asian American theologies? -- Spirituality and ecology -- "If I perish, I perish" (Vashti and Esther) -- The dance of encounter (Jn 4) -- Cross-cultural mediation (Acts 6) -- Becoming the body of Christ (1 Cor 12) -- "If I perish, I perish": Maria Kim & Yu Kwan Soon -- Asian American women in the workplace and the Church -- Imagining a yinist embodiment of Asian American churches.
Summary: "This book expresses a quest for inclusion amid feminist, womanist, and mujerista discourses. Hertig's yinist spirituality is a novel attempt to lift up the voices of female, Asian American voices in Christian ecological theology. She coined the term yinist in the 1990s to "name the nameless Asian American feminism." The term yin refers to the feminine energy of Taoism, in contrast to the male yang. This book will be a valuable resource for the academy, churches, and denominational leaders"-- Provided by publisher.
