Excerpt from The Call of Korea: Political Social Religious The numbers professing conversion have been growing larger and larger each year, but the force of. Missionaries to cope with this work has not kept pace with its growth, and as a result we have the work pushing the missionary to the very limit of his power. During the past year Korea received her baptism of the Holy Spirit, which swept over almost the entire land. Bishop Harris, speaking of this, says, The year 1907 will ever be memorable for the revival which involved the whole country. This constitutes the divine inauguration of the Christian Church in the land of Chosen. The signs following have con firmed the genuineness and thoroughgoing nature of this miracle of grace. In a marvellous way God has been preparing this little nation for the reception of His truth. They are ready now. To-day is Korea's crisis hour, says Dr. J. E. Kittredge. Give the laborers now and Korea will be the first nation Christianized in modern times, says J. R. Mott. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Who was Horace G. Underwood, and what possible significance could another missionary of the nineteenth century have to help us rethink our approach to global Christianity and mission in the twenty-first century? As the first Protestant missionary to set foot in Korea, “the last hermit kingdom,” Underwood is regularly credited with Christianity’s unparalleled success and continuing fervent presence in Korea today, including its corps of over 27,000 fulltime missionaries in 170 countries around the globe, second only to the US in the number of missionaries sent to foreign lands. But as extraordinary as his journey to Korea may have been for this arguably most under-recognized Protestant missionary of all time, it may be his journey from it that offers us vital insights for the future of missions. From the making of Underwood through his formative years in England, France, and America, to the Neo-Confucian culture he encountered among the people in Korea, this book culminates with the presentation and analysis of his previously unknown private letters from the years between 1884 and 1898, showing us the gradual process of interculturation he himself underwent as a missionary that allowed him to discover and encourage glocal—global yet local—expression of faith in Korea.
