Millenarian movements have been mainly studied from a monotheistic
perspective. Traditional explanations for millenarian movements may
not be applicable to Asian cases, since Asian millenarian views of
salvation differ from non-Asian ones. This groundbreaking book
re-examines the Taiping and the Tonghak movements in
nineteenth-century Asia using a much wider range of sources than
have been used by scholars in the past. It provides an
understanding of the movements as an expression, in part, of
deeply-rooted Asian spiritual ideas. It also offers historical and
philosophical reflections on what studies of Asian millenarianism
can contribute to the comparative study of millenarianism. The
foreword is by eminent Asian Studies scholar, F. Hilary Conroy.
