Overview

""Democracy and Mission Education in Korea"" is a profound scholarly investigation into the role of Christian missionary schools within the social and political landscape of early 20th-century Korea. Written by James Earnest Fisher, this work evaluates the educational strategies employed by Western missions and their alignment with democratic values. Fisher examines the complex relationship between religious objectives, educational standards, and the aspirations of the Korean people under the constraints of Japanese colonial administration. The study delves into the philosophical foundations of mission schools, questioning whether these institutions were effectively preparing Korean youth for participation in a democratic society. By analyzing the curriculum, teaching methods, and the overarching social impact of these schools, Fisher provides a critical perspective on the intersection of faith-based education and national development. This work serves as a significant historical document for those interested in the history of education, East Asian studies, and the sociology of missions. It offers a detailed look at how educational theories were put into practice in a unique cultural and political context, highlighting the challenges of fostering democratic ideals through religious institutions.
