Reviews for Christianity in Korea
This book's collection of remarkable essays takes an interdisciplinary approach to clarifying the growth and development of Korean Christianity and the importance of this development for Korean politics, religion, gender issues, social issues, and interreligious dialogue. Since Western scholarship has mostly ignored this aspect of Korean history and the history of Christianity, [it] makes an important contribution toward filling a void. Given current Buddhist-Christian hostilities that occasionally break out in South Korea, [its] concluding essay on how best to encourage Korean Buddhist-Christian dialogue is particularly important.... Highly recommended. - Choice ""An impressively comprehensive overview of Korean Christianity.... An excellent guide - probably one of the best resources available in English - for the study of Korean Christianity."" - International Bulletin of Missionary Research
