The Tao of Asian American Belonging: A Yinist Spirituality

Young Lee Hertig

Paperback

IN STOCK$28.00

The term yin refers to the feminine energy of Taoism, in contrast to the male yang. Author Hertig coined the word yinist in the 1990s to name the nameless Asian American feminism. The yinist spirituality she explores in this book is a novel attempt to lift up and empower the voices of female Asian American voices in Christian ecological theology and to effect their inclusion amid feminist, womanist, and mujerista discourses.

This innovative book is a valuable resource for scholars, churches, and denominational leaders.

"Young Lee Hertig's 'yinist' spirituality draws on the mutuality of yin-and-yang pervasive in East Asian thinking to recover Hebraic holism, Jesus's upside-down, basileia, and the Pauline ecclesiology of weakness and marginality in order to revitalize theological education and the North American church in our global twenty-first century." --Amos Yong, professor of theology and mission, Fuller Seminary
