co-edited book (with David K. Yoo), <i>Encountering Modernity: Christianity in
East Asia and Asian America</i> (<a href="http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/p-9135-9780824839475.aspx">http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/p-9135-9780824839475.aspx</a>).<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">This book compares the intersection of Protestant
Christianity and modernity in the context of East Asian and Asian American
history. In particular, it features a number of articles on Korea, including
translated articles on the YMCA and Severance Hospital during the colonial period by scholars in Korea, an article on neoliberalism in
contemporary Korean churches, and my own article on the relationship between
Christianity and capitalism in early modern Korea. Above all, this book seeks
to understand how Christianity was thought of and practiced in relation to
various aspects of modernity (political, economic, social and cultural). <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your attention. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Albert L.
