- "One of the most remarkable phenomena in the recent history of Christianity has been its rapid spread in Korea. Altogether the Christian population in South Korea now exceeds 25 percent of the total, almost rivalling the number of Buddhists. In 1984 Korea celebrated the centenary of the Protestant missionary movement. Although Protestantism arrived in Korea at least a century later than Catholicism, it has spread more widely and vigorously. Moreover, Christians have shown remarkable leadership in the political, economic, social and cultural life of Korea, far out of proportion to their numerical strength. The expansion of Christianity in Korea is especially noteworthy in view of the fact that Korea, with its long and varied traditions of shamanism, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and other folk religions, had been a country culturally remote from the West. Indeed, Korea long considered itself a `small China', maintaining the Confucian tradition with stubborn persistence longer than China and remaining until the 1880s the last Asian country to open its closed door to the West." -- Intro. pp. [vii]-viii.
