Christian women who put faith in action have been in solidarity with marginalized women in
South Korea since the 1960s - most prominently women workers since the 1960s women victims of
sexual violence since the 1970s and women migrants since the 1990s. This volume focuses on the
marginalized female marriage migrants and their experience of oppression. It analyses their
socio-political context through a complementary subjective-objective approach and fosters a
hermeneutics of empathy between Korean women and female marriage migrants based on historical
scrutiny. In searching the scriptures Joo Mee Hur adapts intercultural theology for liberation
balancing between contextual hermeneutics and textual hermeneutics. Contrapuntally the author
also opens a theological dialogue with the arts which leads to a critical response and ethical
commitment.
