Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 185 pp., bibliography, index. This book has chapters describing the origins, faith and practice of the three main new religions of Korea Cheondo-gyo, Uaejong-gyo and Won-Buddhism written by members of each, as well as general chapters considering them from a sociological viewpoint, and a Christian perspective. The book ends with a transcript of an open exchange between senior members of the religions. The relationship between these competing spiritual powers, the new religions on the one hand and Christianity on the other, has not been purely negative. They have continued to stimulate each other to find new ways to approach those confused by the fast-moving, ever-changing world of new images and paradigms. The essays that have been brought together in this volume seek to understand how the great variety of elements that go into the Korean religious landscape today might collaborate in the wider efforts of Korea to that is upon us all.
