The book offers religious angles on such social issues as gender and patriarchy, marriage and singlehood, family practices, and generational change, as well as such more usual concerns as theology, worship, and church practice. Yoo and Chung also highlight dialogue between Protestant, Buddhist, and Catholic religious perspectives. I particularly like the fact that they include a reflection by a Korean American transnational adoptee, a segment of the Korean American community scholars too frequently overlook. There is much here that will provide food for thought and that will stimulate both scholars and students of Asian American religion.\"--Paul Spickard, author of \u003ci\u003eIs Lighter Better?: Skin-Tone Discrimination among Asian Americans\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword                                             ix\u003cbr\u003e Roger Daniels\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements                                             xi\u003cbr\u003e Introduction                                             1\u003cbr\u003e David K.
