Keywords:
ReligionAbstract
Like other countries of East Asia, in Korea, one finds a modern interest in the study of religion although very little attention has traditionally been paid to questions which ask about religious experience, though accounts about such experiences are found in the writings of newly converted Christians and also in the founders of a number of Korean New Religions.
