Korea and Christianity


Korea and Christianity

 

More than two centuries have passed since Catholicism was introduced in Korea. Over a century has passed since the introduction of Protestantism. Membership in the Protestant denomination has grown to over ten million in that period. By taking into consideration the unique history of Christianity in Korea, this volume looks into the development and the rapid growth of the Christian Church in Korea compared to those neighbouring countries which share a similar Confucian cultural background. In addition, this text explores whether there have been any modifications to the Christian theology within the Korean historical and cultural context.
