Thesis (Ph.D.)--Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Theology, 2010.

The concept of self-sacrifice is highly important to Korean Americans. As they are raised within the construct of interconnected family and society, the importance of family and community overrides that of the individual. With hierarchy of age, social status, and gender defined roles taking primacy over that of equality and justice, self-sacrifice becomes instrumental in maintaining family and social relationships. Unfortunately in family relationships, sacrifice has more to do with submission and endurance than it does with sacrificial service that is redemptive and mutually beneficial. When self-sacrifice carries hidden motives: coercive responsibility, obligation, shame, guilt, or one's reputation; by this point the "self-sacrifice" is not self-giving neither serving nor of mutual benefit. In this context, it is important to explore the actual attitudes and motives of self-sacrifice in Korean American families.

520 $a The concept of self-sacrifice is highly important to Korean Americans. As they are raised within the construct of interconnected family and society, the importance of family and community overrides that of the individual. With hierarchy of age, social status, and gender defined roles taking primacy over that of equality and justice, self-sacrifice becomes instrumental in maintaining family and social relationships. Unfortunately in family relationships, sacrifice has more to do with submission and endurance than it does with sacrificial service that is redemptive and mutually beneficial. When self-sacrifice carries hidden motives: coercive responsibility, obligation, shame, guilt, or one's reputation; by this point the "self-sacrifice" is not self-giving neither serving nor of mutual benefit. In this context, it is important to explore the actual attitudes and motives of self-sacrifice in Korean American families.
520 $a In unlocking and exploring the dynamics of theology and practice of self-sacrifice for Korean Americans, this paper has explored cultural virtues, marital relationships, gender inequality, domestic violence, and their theological implications. In chapter 5, existing previous studies on the empirical and theoretical aspects of self-sacrifice were explored and examined. Then the actual attitudes, beliefs, and motives of self-sacrifice as reported by Korean Americans in a survey form were evaluated, and several significant results that helped to understand Korean American family relationships were found. In the final chapter, a new approach and model with a proposal for a healthier and a more judicious understanding of self-sacrifice for Korean American family relationships were introduced.
520 $a I believe that the element of "equal regard" as pertaining to self-sacrifice offers Korean Americans a refreshing hope in the perspective of familial relationships and a liberating casting-off of culturally and religiously imposed burdens. The Korean American family ought to be grounded on a love ethic of equal regard, and place its value on mutuality, self-sacrifice, and individual fulfillment. When this is done, the sacrificial love can be understood as justly appropriated for both; husbands and wives, males and female, and parents and children. This way, the Christian teaching and theology may deliver a more transparent message of true agape and its liberating effects to the marginalized, especially women and children.
