ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am indebted to many colleagues for the preparation and completion of this book in one way or another in the Department of Christian Studies at Ewha Womans University. They not only encouraged me to finish this book but also are engaged in conversations about Korean Christianity. I would like to express my earnest appreciation to Dr. Angella Son who was enormously helpful in revising the manuscript and provided theoretical insight for writing this book. I am grateful to Dr. Mi Ja Sa who helped me shape my point of view to analyze religious experiences in terms of psychology. I also gratefully acknowledge my students at Ewha for their valuable comments and crucial contribution to this project. My deepest gratitude is extended to my wife, You Sun Yim, who always stood by me through the good times and bad. Many thanks go in particular to my son, Jun Geon, and my daughter, Juna, who have been proud of my work and who have shown their positive regard for my research. I am deeply grateful to my parents and brothers who supported and encouraged me with their unbounded confidence in my ability. They helped me realize my potential and always prayed for my study.
