Author Description

<p>Once considered a "Cinderella" in church growth and mission in the post-Edinburgh Conference era, the Korean church is given its due in this book. As a guide to Korean Christianity, it contains more than thirty chapters, written by historians, missiologists, sociologists, mission practitioners, pastors, and church leaders. This volume assesses the legacy and place of Korean Christianity and its mission, provides insightful and self-critical accounts on topics such as theories, policies, practices, and prospects, and offers a useful overview of how the Korean church grew into a missionary church. The book concludes with reflections on future challenges and possibilities, and is intended as an important gift to the Korean church and to world Christianity.</p>
