Missionaries who led Joseon's modern civilization

Description
Book Introduction
Princeton University, UC Berkeley, Columbia University, University of Michigan, etc.
History books officially housed in the libraries of six prestigious American universities
This author has recently confirmed that among the historical materials on the modern civilization of Korea, the contributions and influence of missionaries are very weakly evaluated and even denigrated and distorted.
In particular, we have discovered that the content of elementary and middle school textbooks and history museums lacks fairness and objectivity.
Accordingly, I felt the need for a new understanding of history based on the facts of our modern and contemporary history, and I could not help but feel a deep sense of urgency to correct this.
The three elements of history are ‘events’, ‘time’, and ‘people’.
Even in Korea's modern and contemporary history, there was a period of dedicated, civilization-building missionary work, where missionaries who served in that era crossed the Pacific Ocean, settled in the dark land of Joseon, and dedicated themselves and their families to their mission.
They were the main characters of that era who fulfilled all three elements of history.
It is a self-evident fact that they played a leading role in the modern civilization of the Republic of Korea and stood at its center.
Because of this, we are now reaping the fruits and multiplying them.
These are the roots of today's advanced Republic of Korea.
As a missionary, I have been engaged in missionary work for over 30 years, and have naturally become convinced that Christian providence has been at work in the modern and contemporary history of our people, and I have reflected this in this book.
From that perspective, historical facts should be given top priority, and equally important, the evaluation and interpretation of history should be reviewed objectively.
However, if we interpret history through an ideological framework and exclusive stereotypes, we will not be able to learn the painful lessons contained in that history, and such history will repeat itself in the future.
Therefore, in order to objectify history and conduct a balanced evaluation and interpretation, we must examine it not only with our own historical records but also with historical materials from around the world. Only then can we empathize with the universality and truth of history and utilize it as a resource for our people's civilization.
