Korea and Christianity

From the publisher’s website:

More than two centuries have passed since Catholicism was introduced in Korea. Over a century has passed since the introduction of Protestantism. Membership in the Protestant denomination has grown to over ten million in that period. This volume looks into the development and the rapid rise of Christianity in Korea and modifications to the Christian theology within the Korean historical and cultural context.
