| Summary: | Christianity in Korea has often been viewed rather superficially. It has been praised for its evangelistic zeal or criticized as being pietistically oriented toward numerical growth with little concern for society. It has been criticized for slavishly copying Western forms and praised by others for struggling for human rights. The author attempts to deepen our understanding of Korean Christianity by taking up such matters as the problems of indigenization, the forms of worship, and Christian social activism as seen against its historical and social background. |
