Abstract
The result of the interpretation of Isaiah 11:1-9 shows us “a shoot” as a symbolized resistance in the context of injustice; “a shoot” being more powerful than the violence of the unjust. In addition, Asian resistance narratives are helpful references for deriving contextual meanings of the relationship between violence and resistance in an unjust society. The Korean “Sun-Moon” narrative is a beautiful discourse which announces the violence of power and shows the resistance of the powerless. The Taiwanese “Sun-Moon Lake” legend encourages us to remember the removal from the earth community of the violence of dragons. I would like to weave the hermeneutical interpretation between “a shoot” narrative and “the sun-moon” narrative, which present the foundations of the natural world for the human and earth community. Even though violence in the unjust society prevails around the world where there are people, “a shoot” and “sun and moon” everywhere tell us a hopeful message. In doing so, a new form criticism will be used through my methodology for the hermeneutical interpretation of biblical texts and Asian stories.
