Description
Book SynopsisThe Korean Holiness Church originated as an evangelical holiness movement through indigenous work and the American holiness mission. From its inception, the Korean Holiness Church believed that its primary task was not only to promote scriptural holiness, as John Wesley and primitive Methodism had preached, but also to preach the fourfold gospel, which may be summarized as regeneration, sanctification, divine healing, and the premillennial second coming of Christ. The Rise of the Korean Holiness Church in Relation to the American Holiness Movement argues that the theological foundation of the Korean Holiness Church can best be understood by analyzing the fourfold gospel in the history of the Korean Holiness Church and its internationally connected holiness movement. The brief, though rich, biographical accounts of the Korean Christians and American and British Missionaries woven into this book finally give these great men and women their due.
Trade ReviewOne cannot help but be impressed with the volume of research that went into this work.... I recommend this for anyone with interest in pentecostal and/or holiness history, even if they are not concerned with the nation of Korea herself. * Journal Of The Society For Pentecostal Studies *
