Choice Reviews

In this brief volume Clark has succeeded admirably in providing a concise but comprehensive profile of the Korean church and some suggestions on how history made it the way it is....I highly recommend it.

Journal of Asian Studies

Clark's sharp-eyed update on Korean Christianity is the best-balanced, best-informed and most lucid contemporary analysis of an astonishing phenomenon) the emergence in non-Christian Asia of the church in Korea from persecuted sect to national recognition and power in less than a hundred years. The book is short but convincing.

Choice Reviews - Samuel Hugh Moffett
