The purpose of this article is to explore the dialectic, meaningful connectionbetween the second-generation Korean-American college student experience andteachings in Bible study, which from the perspective of Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) areboth helpful and unhelpful in building and strengthening their identity. By examiningtwo members of the college group of U Church and their interpretive activities ofmeaning provided by the Bible as well as by their culture through Ricoeur'shermeneutical notion of the “text as the projected world,” this paper seeks toinvestigate the making and re-making of the meaning of being Korean-AmericanChristians. In this interpretive process, Ricoeur provides a useful tool by which texts,biblical texts included, present to the readers a possible way of being-in-the-world: anew way of living in the world. That is, he shows an example of how in the Bible apossible world is opened and a mode-of-being in the world (faith) is nurtured anddeepened. This article presents how the two biblical passages the two interviewees(Samuel and Jennifer) chose come to project a meaningful world for them byrespecting both sides of their identity - Korean and American - but at the same time,their ultimate identities are as disciples and as part of the body of Jesus Christ asKorean-American Christians. In discovering and uncovering a way to link theirfaith/life experiences with the Bible, this paper also suggest five key educational andpractical dimensions the U Church college group pastor should pursue: (1) guidancefor being an interpretive community, (2) a link between life story and the Bible Story,(3) discovery and intensification of identity, (4) contextual interpretive process, and (5)proper curriculum and teaching approach. The findings from these interviews open theway to understanding the identity of the second-generation Korean-American college group in general, to exploring various needs and issues of Christian college students, and todeveloping Christian education for the second-generation college-aged people andfurther later-generations.
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore the dialectic, meaningful connectionbetween the second-generation Korean-American college student experience andteachings in Bible study, which from the perspective of Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) areboth helpful and unhelpful in building and strengthening their identity. By examiningtwo members of the college group of U Church and their interpretive activities ofmeaning provided by the Bible as well as by their culture through Ricoeur'shermeneutical notion of the “text as the projected world,” this paper seeks toinvestigate the making and re-making of the meaning of being Korean-AmericanChristians. In this interpretive process, Ricoeur provides a useful tool by which texts,biblical texts included, present to the readers a possible way of being-in-the-world: anew way of living in the world. That is, he shows an example of how in the Bible apossible world is opened and a mode-of-being in the world (faith) is nurtured anddeepened. This article presents how the two biblical passages the two interviewees(Samuel and Jennifer) chose come to project a meaningful world for them byrespecting both sides of their identity - Korean and American - but at the same time,their ultimate identities are as disciples and as part of the body of Jesus Christ asKorean-American Christians. In discovering and uncovering a way to link theirfaith/life experiences with the Bible, this paper also suggest five key educational andpractical dimensions the U Church college group pastor should pursue: (1) guidancefor being an interpretive community, (2) a link between life story and the Bible Story,(3) discovery and intensification of identity, (4) contextual interpretive process, and (5)proper curriculum and teaching approach. The findings from these interviews open theway to understanding the identity of the second-generation Korean-American college group in general, to exploring various needs and issues of Christian college students, and todeveloping Christian education for the second-generation college-aged people andfurther later-generations.
