Pentecôtismes en Corée / Pentecostalisms in Korea
Year: 1999
Type: article
Abstract: In South Korea, messianic and pentecostal movements flourish. They are well adapted to the needs of different Korean social ranks and increase as much in proletarian classes as middle classes or among students. This article shows the variety of those movements and their public through the presentation of two distinct Korean Churches: the first one, internationally known, is the pentecostal Full Gospel Church. The second one, increasing in the footsteps of the Unification Church of Rev. Moon Sun-Myong, is the messianic Church of Providence. The two Churches recruit a very different public but are structurally very similar.
