This book aims to explore the life of Yi Won-young, an outstanding
Confucian scholar from Andong, in South Korea. Andong is known as
the home of Neo-Confucianism, as in this region Western
Christianity took root amidst the impeccable and ritualistic
Confucian society without much conflict and confrontation. This
study deals with the most turbulent times of 20th century Korean
history and investigates the formation of the Andong biblical
Christianity. Was the confluence of availability and accessibility
of the Bible and Bible study and the method of Confucian canon
reading relevant for the formation of Andong biblical Christianity?
This is one of the questions the author tries to answer in the
book. Further, the author vividly portrays Yi's struggle to
interact with the community and the occupying Japanese authority,
analyzes the development of his eschatological interpretation and
the issues of Shinto worship and its consequences, church division
and sterility of human minds after trauma of deprivation. The book
offers an overview of Korean Neo-Confucianism and the early
Presbyterian Church of Korea during the Japanese occupation and
post Korean War. For Western readers new references were added by
the translator.
