The Korean Protestant church has long been defined by remarkable energy and rapid expansion. Yet today it faces deepening crises: declining membership, eroding public trust, widespread burnout, and a growing population of "Canaan believers," who have quietly walked away.
Renewing Korean Christian Spirituality gathers eleven leading voices from Korea and the United States to reimagine Christian spirituality in this critical moment. Spanning biblical studies, theology, psychology, missiology, and the sociology of religion, these essays engage the full range of the Korean church's challenges--tracing its spiritual history, recovering contemplative and biblical practices, addressing pastoral burnout and mental health, and pressing outward toward missional hospitality and kingdom justice.
Neither nostalgic nor naïve, this volume invites the Korean church to move beyond busyness into a deeper and more sustainable life with God, neighbor, and world. It is an indispensable resource for seminarians, pastors, and scholars committed to the renewal of Korean Christianity--in Korea, in North America, and around the globe.
