A History of Korean Christianity Kindle Edition
by Sebastian C. H. Kim (Author), Kirsteen Kim (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

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 C. H. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only the bestReviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014

Just in luck! Having returned from my expedition to the DPRK, it was fascinating to read about the rich heritage of the church and make connections with what I saw there. This has been the most helpful academic book on the history of the Korean Church. I could not put this book down.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book should be avoidedReviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021

It's a shame that Cambridge decided to publish this book. The authors obviously are not qualified to write a book of this scale. As other reviewers have already wrote in various venues, this book contains too many factual errors--a full errata will make another book. The authors are not established Korea specialists and apparently have done little original research. They had to write the book depending almost exclusively on a limited number of secondary sources which they unfortunately did not fully understand. Worse, they could not tell reliable sources from unreliable ones. I do not know the politics behind Cambridge's decision, but I am sure they are deeply regretting it.

1.0 out of 5 stars and some parts of the Bibliography is in a poor shape with wrong names of the institutionsReviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015

The press needs to recall this book because it has too many errors. Almost every page has historically incorrect facts or incorrect understanding of the primary and secondary texts. In many times the cited secondary sources do not tell the contents. The authors did not check the primary sources or recent articles when they use the secondary sources written more than 40 years ago. Even a few picture captions have wrong identifications, and some parts of the Bibliography is in a poor shape with wrong names of the institutions. In short, this book was written in a hurry and then no experts had reviewed the manuscript in detail before its publication.

About this ebook
In Confucian Questions to Augustine, Park compares the works of Confucius and Mencius with those of Saint Augustine. His purpose in so doing is to show Confucian Augustinianism as a new theological perspective on Confucian-Christian ethics and Augustinianism by discovering analogies and differences in their respective understandings of the formation of moral self, particularly the acquisition of virtue, and how they believe this leads to happiness. 

Using the method of inter-textual reasoning, and assuming continuity between Augustine's early and later works, he compares Confucius and Mencius's xue, si, li, and yue with Augustine's moral learning, contemplation, sacrament, and music, respectively. Confucian Augustinianism shows how to enjoy God, follow Jesus, and live in the Holy Spirit.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a fascinating work of cross-cultural dialogue between three of the most influential thinkers in human history--Confucius, Mencius, and Augustine--which for the first time shows convergences and divergences in their respective understandings of ethics and religion."

--Michael S. Northcott, Emeritus Professor of Ethics, The University of Edinburgh

"Timely, relevant, and enriching: this rigorous intercultural engagement in conversation with Confucius, Mencius, and Augustine around the virtues and formation of the moral self is a brilliant piece of inquiry in comparative religious ethics."

--Michael N. Jagessar, Europe Secretary, The Council for World Mission

"How do people learn to be good? Christianity has its answers. So does ancient Chinese thought. This fine book compares those two traditions and builds some important bridges between them. China has a rich heritage of ethics and wisdom. Christians who want to understand this heritage better have an important resource here."

--John Proctor, General Secretary, The United Reformed Church

My classroom at Fuller is that laboratory of building God’s beloved community—the triune God’s beloved community—in a wonderful, covenantal relationship of mutual respect, and no domination. That’s my Fuller classroom.”

BIO

Hak Joon Lee was named Lewis B. Smedes Professor of Christian Ethics in September 2015, having served on the Fuller faculty since 2011 as professor of theology and ethics. He is an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Dr. Lee’s research focuses on covenant, public theology, global ethics, and Asian American theology and ethics. He has also centered much of his attention on the ethics and spirituality of Martin Luther King Jr., and has been invited to be the keynote speaker for Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations in several cities. With Dr. King as his spiritual model, Lee has been active in the advocacy for racial justice and reconciliation in various institutional contexts. He frequently serves as a consultant and a mentor on these topics for local churches and individuals

Lee has published several books in English, including : God and Community Organizing: A Covenantal Approach (Baylor, 2020), Doing Justice: Decisive and Diverse Responses (coedited, IVP, 2019), Intersecting Realities: Race, Identity, and Culture in the Spiritual-Moral Life of Young Asians (Cascade, 2018), Shaping Public Theology: Selections from the Writings of Max L. Stackhouse (coedited, Eerdmans, 2014), The Great World House: Martin Luther King Jr. and Global Ethics (Pilgrim Press, 2011), We Will Get to the Promised Land: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Communal-Political Spirituality (Pilgrim Press, 2006), Covenant and Communication: A Christian Moral Conversation with Jürgen Habermas (University Press of America, 2006).

Lee’s book Christian Ethics: A New Covenant Model an innovative methodology of Christian ethics based on the New Covenant of Jesus, is forthcoming in November 2021 (Eerdmans).

Lee has also written numerous articles and two books in Korean: Bridge Builders (Doorae Media, 2007) and the award-winning A Paradigm Shift in Korean Churches (Holy WavePlus Press, 2011).

With more than seventeen years of experience in pastoral ministry, Lee’s passion has been the renewal of the church in the globalizing, digitized world through the deeper integration of ecclesia and academia. He has led several curriculum writing projects that are theologically grounded and culturally relevant. For example, Lee was coeditor of the Micah 2 project (funded by Fuller’s Ogilvie Institute for Preaching), an ethics curriculum which about a thousand pastors in ten different countries are using; additionally, in 2016, he and a group of Fuller students published the Wilderness Manifesto in response to the interlocking crises that humanity experiences today (economic inequality, ecological degradation, educational deficiency); and in 2007, Lee founded G2G Christian Education Center, a research institute on Asian American Christianity and culture. Through the center, he has published several contextually grounded curricula for Korean North American youth and their parents.

Lee enjoys extracurricular interactions with Fuller students, especially sharing table fellowship and hikes in the San Gabriel Mountains.
