Reviews

Instead of simply being another survey of the three dominant religions in contemporary Korea-Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity-this unique book studies them in relation to each other in terms of assimilation, accommodation, conflict, and exclusion. The contributors focus on major issues that have historically challenged the relations between the three religions from the Goryeo period to the present and how each religion has responded to them. The essays bring a new perspective to the study of Korean religions, one that is especially pertinent in the current age of religious pluralism with all its tensions.


...a welcome contribution to the body of knowledge regarding multi-layered Korean religions. The volume's ten essays offer different approaches to Korean religions, bringing us one step closer to a contemporary re-thinking of the Korean religious tradition. - Reading Religion
