Abstract

I observed images of Jesus the Good Shepherd produced in various mediums in several of the megachurches I visited. These images are often located in prominent places such as the façade of the building, in the front garden, and on the main entrance. In this study, I explore how patriarchal megachurches in Korea promote the pastor’s charismatic leadership and the patriarchal order in the church visually.
