“Mark Chung Hearn’s Religious Experience Among Second Generation Korean Americans is a valuable addition to the rapidly growing body of scholarly works in the field of Asian American theology and religious history. … The strength of this book springs from Hearn’s clever demonstration of the importance of interpreting Korean American men as ‘sociohistorical constructs’ in a cutting-edge interdisciplinary work. … Hearn’s book makes a vital contribution to the studies of Asian American practical theology.” (Eunil David Cho, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, June, 2017)
