by Horace Grant Underwood, Cameron Johnson (Illustrator)

The Call of Political, Social, Religious is a book written by Horace Grant Underwood and published in 1908. The book provides a comprehensive account of the political, social, and religious aspects of Korea during the early 20th century. Underwood, who was an American Presbyterian missionary, lived in Korea for more than 30 years and was a witness to the many changes that took place in the country during that time. In this book, he shares his experiences and observations about the country's history, culture, and customs.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of Korea. The first part discusses the political situation in Korea, including the country's relations with neighboring countries and the impact of foreign intervention. The second part deals with the social conditions in Korea, including the caste system, education, and the role of women in society. The final part of the book explores the religious landscape of Korea, including the influence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Christianity.Throughout the book, Underwood provides a detailed analysis of the challenges facing Korea and its people, including poverty, political instability, and cultural conflicts. He also offers insights into the resilience and determination of the Korean people in the face of these challenges.Overall, The Call of Political, Social, Religious is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Korea, as well as those interested in the role of religion in shaping society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Having seen 1st hand the strength of Korean Christianity & learning of Underwood, I sought out this account. He gives good glimpses of the land & people at the turn of the 20th c. The strongest work then was in the North! The self-funding, self-propagating, self-governing that China speaks of came from these hard working pioneers. I am left with one conclusion: God is the One who decides when, where and how fruitful the yield will be.
