Five decades of North American missionary work in Korea are revealed in this book, giving readers a glimpse into the profound struggle for cultural and spiritual identity that often accompanied the Christian missionaries' foray into unbaptized territory. Most could not make the necessary leap from their own backgrounds to their new home culture; a few did, and came away from the experience with a sharper perception of self, society, and the sometimes problematic nature of their work.
