This book examines the partnerships and power struggles between
American missionaries and Korean Protestant leaders in both nations
from the late 19th century to the aftermath of the Korean War. Yoo
analyzes American and Korean sources, including a plethora of
unpublished archival materials, to uncover the complicated
histories of cooperation and contestation behind the evolving
relationships between Americans and Koreans at the same time the
majority of the world Christian population shifted from the Global
North to the Global South. American and Korean Protestants
cultivated deep bonds with one another, but they also clashed over
essential matters of ecclesial authority, cultural difference,
geopolitics, and women's leadership. This multifaceted approach -
incorporating the perspectives of missionaries, migrants,
ministers, diplomats, and interracial couples - casts new light on
American and Korean Christianities and captures American and Korean
Protestants mutually engaged in a global movement that helped give
birth to new Christian traditions in Korea, created new
transnational religious and humanitarian partnerships such as the
World Vision organization, and transformed global Christian
traditions ranging from Pentecostalism to Presbyterianism.
