Jin Young Choi rereads discipleship in the Gospel of Mark from a postcolonial feminist perspective, developing an Asian and Asian American hermeneutics of phronesis. Colonized subjects perceive Jesus’ body as phantasmic. Discipleship means embodying the mystery of this body while engaging with invisible, placeless and voiceless others.
