언어의 양면성

Posted on May 4, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

저는 어느날 이사야서 43장 31절에 저의 영혼이 부딪치면서 전에 갖지 못하였던 새로운 영적인 신선감을 갖게되었습니다. 그 말씀은 여러분들도 잘 아시는 “오직 여호와를 앙망하는 자는 새 힘을 얻으리니 독수리의 날개처럼 올라감 같을 것이며 달음박질하여도 곤비치 아니하겠고 걸어가도 피곤치 아니하리로다” 라는 말씀이었습니다. … Continue reading →

얼마 전에 신문기사에서 “한국 여성상이 변하고 있다” (6/16/98,한국일보 N.Y)라는 리포트를 읽은 적이 있습니다. 같은 여성으로서 관심과 반가움을 불러일으키는 기사였기에 여러분들과 함께 나누면서, 여성들의 현주소를 알아보는 시간을 갖고자 합니다. 그 기사에는, 한국의 전통 여성상이던 조용하고 순종이 미덕인 옛 틀을 벗어나 <여성도 … Continue reading →
