Chondogyo is a unique and indigenous religion of Korea founded in 1860 by Choe Je-u, better known as Suun, his pen name. Chondogyo means "the Religion of Heavenly Way." Originally called Donghak, meaning "Eastern leaning," the religious movement is regarded as one of the most important in Korean history, with a particular impact on modern Korean society and politics. Its scripture has played a foundational and essential role in the belief system of Chondogyo, containing Suun''s ideas about God, man, and the world, as well as his own religious experience. This translation represents the only complete translation of Donggyeong Daejeon with notes in English. The study of Chondogyo has been limited in the West due to its lack of circulation in Western languages. With this translation, a main part of the Chondogyo literature is available to the worldwide community of scholars and students engaged in the study of this important Korean religion. This work, therefore, makes a significant contribution to the scholarship of world religions.

Industry Reviews

This work is an excellent translation of the main scripture of Chondogyo, a unique Korean religion that exerted a significant influence on the religious, social, and political dynamics of the 19th-20th century Korea...It also includes a brief history of Chondogyo, an explanation of the main concepts and terms used in this scripture, and a glossary to aid readers who are unfamiliar with religious movement. This translation is clear and lucid, and is a remarkable contribution to the understanding of the basics of Chondogyo. -- Young-Chan Ro, Chair of Religious Studies and Director of the Korean Studies Center, George Mason University
