Chondogyo is a unique and indigenous religion of Korea founded in
1860 by Choe Je-u, better known as Suun, his pen name. Chondogyo
means "the Religion of Heavenly Way." Originally called Donghak,
meaning "Eastern leaning," the religious movement is regarded as
one of the most important in Korean history, with a particular
impact on modern Korean society and politics. Its scripture has
played a foundational and essential role in the belief system of
Chondogyo, containing Suun's ideas about God, man, and the world,
as well as his own religious experience. This translation
represents the only complete translation of Donggyeong Daejeon with
notes in English. The study of Chondogyo has been limited in the
West due to its lack of circulation in Western languages. With this
translation, a main part of the Chondogyo literature is available
to the worldwide community of scholars and students engaged in the
study of this important Korean religion. This work, therefore,
makes a significant contribution to the scholarship of world
religions.
