As a guide to Korean Christianity, it contains more than thirty chapters, written by historians, missiologists, sociologists, mission practitioners, pastors, and church leaders. They come from a wide range of church traditions, and also from within and without South Korea. This volume assesses the legacy and place of Korean Christianity and its mission, provides insightful and self-critical accounts in topics ranging from theories, policies, practices, and prospects, and offers a useful overview of how the Korean church grew into a missionary church. As a non-western major mission force, it has been equipping itself and others for service by broadening the understanding of God's mission throughout the turbulent years of imperialism, post-colonialism and globalization. The book, concluding with reflections on the future challenges and possibilities, is intended as an important gift to the Korean church and to world Christianity.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Kyo-sŏng An</note> <subject> <topic>Christianity -- Korea (South)</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">266.001</classification> <classification authority="ddc">K99-A53</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781908355881</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/2/_497664774_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/2/_497664774_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070530.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
