This book is a revised version of the author's 1998 doctoral dissertation, written at the Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. In the past twenty years there have been many books and dissertations on the history of the Protestant Church in Korea. Most of these have been either studies of the general history of the Church, or studies of the relationship of the Church to the socio-political climate of a particular era. Virtually all of these, while purportedly dealing with the Protestant Church, have dealt primarily with the Presbyterians to the virtual exclusion of the Methodist and other Protestant traditions. Few, other than specifically theological works, have dealt in depth with the theological orientation of the various Protestant groups. Millennialism in the Korean Protestant Church helps to redress the balance of scholarship on a critically important national Church in the non-western world. This book deals with all Protestant groups as it examines how a particular pre-millennial theology prevalent in all the denominations shaped the responses of Korean Protestants to Japanese colonialism in their country before the Second World War. The author considers pre-Christian Korean religious views which would predispose them towards pre-millennialism, the views of the missionaries on the subject, the historic responses of the Church to Japanese colonialism and, in the final chapter, a plea for a shift from pre-millennialism to amillennialism. The chapter on the Church's response to the requirement that Christians attend state Shinto rites is perhaps the most important section of the book, providing an extensive examination of how pre-millennialism shaped the type of response which many Christians made regardless of denomination. The research for this chapter builds upon the author's previous work on the circle of Bruce F. Hunt, the group which formed the core of those people who rejected shrine worship as idolatry. Given the importance of the Shinto Shrine Question for Korean church history, it would have been interesting to know the author's thoughts about the current influence of pre-millennialism on the Korean Churches. Failure to use the standard scholarly system for transcribing Korean into the Latin alphabet, the so-called McCune-Reischauer system, is the only criticism which can be made of this otherwise well-written and important work.
