Wounded Heart of God: The Asian Concept of Han and the Christian Doctrine of Sin Book

I'd give 3.5/5 stars.
Lot to like in the book, but in the end, the end wasn't that great.
He does a great job explaining han and revealing the need to explore not just sin but the effect of sin on others- the han. He reveals how sin not only affects us when we sin but has big effect on those who are sinned against- which often gets multiplied.
He also speaks to those who have been sinned against and how we need to be healed.

This gave me greater insight and understanding to those from Asian communities and Black communities in particular as well as other who have experienced trauma.
He does a great job upacking racism and oppression.

Unfortunately he does very little Biblical expostion to support his points about God or Jesus or even sin. He seems to ignore or neglect parts of Scripture to make his points. Maybe it is because i just finished studied Galatians but it feels like he is trying to add something or make this out to be more than what the Bible says. He tries to be careful with words but he is also using words pointedly- so i can't just ignore it.

I think there is a lot to learn from the book. I think different cultural experiences can help us in understanding the Bible and this also reveals ways my own cultural experience can shape how i interpret God's Word- so for those things i am thankful for those things.
But the end missed - exaltation of Jesus was lacking.
