"With a third of South Koreans now identifying themselves as Christian, Christian
churches play an increasingly prominent role in the social and political events of
the Korean peninsula. Sebastian Kim and Kirsteen Kim's comprehensive and timely history
of different Christian denominations in Korea includes surveys of the Catholic, Orthodox
and Protestant traditions as well as new church movements. They examine the Korean
Christian diaspora and missionary movements from South Korea and also give cutting-edge
insights into North Korea. This book, the first recent one-volume history and analysis
of Korean Christianity in English, highlights the challenges faced by the Christian
churches in view of Korea's distinctive and multireligious cultural heritage, South
Korea's rapid rise in global economic power and the precarious state of North Korea,
which threatens global peace. This History will be an important resource for all students
of world Christianity, Korean studies and mission studies"
