Two motivations made the researcher undertake this project. The first one is the different nature between the Biblical God and the supreme god, Hananim. Koreans believe in only one god called "Hananim or Ha-neu-nim" which means that he is one and the supreme one. Around 1900 most North American missionaries turned to Hananim when they arrived in Korea. Korean Christians used the same name of God. It has been leading how to be a Christian and how to believe in God. Before Christianity was introduced on the Korean soil, Korean people had lived for a long time under the influence of various religions such as Shamanism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and other indigenous religions. The researcher intends to differentiate the nature of God in the Scriptures from that of Korean belief system to clarify its implications for establishing a Korean Christian community, and to show that the relationship between Christianity and other traditional religions has emerged as one of the thorny issues in contemporary theological circles. The second motivation is the importance of knowing God. The book of John says, "(Jn 17:3) Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." The researcher is convinced that knowing God is important for Korean Christians to communicate with God. Based on it they may grow in relationship with Him. Hananim is the word for this supreme god used by Korean shamanists. Therefore, traditional religion and Korean belief system have influenced Christianity in many ways. Shamanism is the most prominent religious force dominating the religious life of the Korean people. The relations between the spirits and human beings were arranged by shamans who helped them to be in harmony and unity. The Korean people believed in propitious and ill-omened days, in favorable and unfavorable places. They also believed that every event was for them a sign of fortune or misfortune; however, with the influx of Western culture, the beliefs and practices of Shamanism seemed to have disappeared from the life of the Korean people. This project is an attempt to encourage the development of intimacy with God in wiki-leadership. The research believes that new leadership paradigm will motivate knowing the Biblical God, which leads Korean people to grow in the relationship with God on behalf of shamans. And now, more than ever, the church of Jesus Christ is in need of new leadership paradigm that motivates His people to get involved in His ministries.

The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism is a comprehensive treatment of a relatively new form of scholarship-one of the most compelling and contested theories to emerge in recent times, and a topic that actively seeks to expand the ways in which the Bible can be studied, interpreted, and applied. Generally speaking, postcolonialism aims to critique and dismantle hegemonic worldviews and power structures, while giving voice to previously marginalized peoples and systems of thought. This approach, often varied in form, has inevitably engaged with the text and reception of the Bible, a scripture that Western colonizers introduced to-and often imposed upon-their colonial subjects. With a globally diverse list of contributors, the Handbook aims to cover the perspective and context of the authors of the Bible, as well as the modern experiences of imperialism, resistance, decolonization, and nationalism. Moreover, the volume includes both a theoretical overview and an exploration of how the field intersects with related areas, such as gender studies, race, postmodernism, and liberation theology.

"Embark on an illustrated journey into one of the world's most isolated nations - North Korea. Juche: A Christian Study of North Korea's State Religion takes you on a journey into North Korea to view what is possibly the most rigidly controlling religious system on the planet - Juche. Through the use of unchallengeable totalitarian power, North Korea's ruling elite enforces Juche ideology in every aspect of the culture. No competing ideologies are permitted. Under the Juche belief system, man is proclaimed God in a nation whose government has officially decided against Christianity for all of its citizens. The majority of North Koreans today have never heard the name of Jesus. This book explores the various aspects of Juche, including its origins, central teachings, spiritual dimension, and holy sites. It also considers the Juche worldview, propagation of the Juche culture, and Juche as a religion in transition. The journey into North Korea's state religion concludes by considering a biblical view of the future of Juche."--Amazon.com.

Christianity is often viewed in Asia as a Western imposition. Challenging this, Dr. Jerry Hwang examines the Old Testament’s cultural engagement of its ancient Near Eastern context, arguing that Scripture itself provides the ultimate model for contextualizing theology in Asia. While it is common for missiological studies to ignore the Old Testament in their discussion of contextualization, truly biblical contextualization must include the whole Bible, not simply the New Testament. This study provides insightful discourse between the Old Testament and various Asian contexts, while demonstrating how Asian perspectives can help overcome the Eurocentrism prevalent in Old Testament scholarship. This is an ideal resource for scholars and practitioners interested in a biblical perspective of contextualization, especially as related to constructing theology that honors the truth of Scripture in the context of Asia.

Korea has one of the most dynamic and diverse religious cultures of any nation on earth. Koreans are highly religious, yet no single religious community enjoys dominance. Buddhists share the Korean religious landscape with both Protestant and Catholic Christians as well as with shamans, Confucians, and practitioners of numerous new religions. As a result, Korea is a fruitful site for the exploration of the various manifestations of spirituality in the modern world. At the same time, however, the complexity of the country’s religious topography can overwhelm the novice explorer. Emphasizing the attitudes and aspirations of the Korean people rather than ideology, Don Baker has written an accessible aid to navigating the highways and byways of Korean spirituality. He adopts a broad approach that distinguishes the different roles that folk religion, Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, and indigenous new religions have played in Korea in the past and continue to play in the present while identifying commonalities behind that diversity to illuminate the distinctive nature of spirituality on the Korean peninsula.

"Korean women, nurtured in a culture dominated by patriarchy, often understand God as another form of male authority that is easily displeased and quick to judge. The author shows how programs of pastoral ministry could introduce Korean women to a God of love and understanding, empowering them to help transform not only their own lives, but their churches and their society."--BOOK JACKET.
