The third Adam : A qualitative text analysis of The Familyfederation ́s view of salvation from a gender perspective (English)
Abstract [en]

After the end of World War II, so-called New Religious Movements (NRM) emerged as branches of the traditional religions. These NRM’s are characterized by new ways of forming belief systems and has traditions that are different from the conventional religions. The main purpose of this study was to investigate and study how the Korean founder Sun Myung Moon of the NRM, Family Federation of World Peace and Unification, depict and portray the two genders in his proclamations about human salvation. In addition, the study applied a gender theoretical framework, in order to interpret Moon’s depiction of how gender is described in relation to his doctrine of salvation. What emerge along the course of study was that the path to salvation, depicted in reverent Moon’s enunciations, was the faith in Jesus and the relationship between the man and woman. The study also illustrated that the elimination of evil, such as Satan and the ideology of communism, is the foundation to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. In conclusion, the salvation of mankind is fulfilled through reverent Moon, as the second Messiah, through the marriage and the reproduction of sinless children. In summary, reverent Moon’s proclamations in his theology, often advocate and encourage the traditional gender roles. Moreover, the theoretical framework visualizes that Moon, in his theology, is depicting a dichotomy and hierarchy among the genders and thereby embraces a conservative view of gender roles. The didactic relevance of this study is the importance to illustrate gender perspective and gender roles within the teaching of religion. That is because it may counteract stereotypical perceptions among students.
