韩国宗教团体为什么以及如何应对日本殖民统治下（1910 - 1945）日益严重的农村贫困、社会混乱和现代化力量对文化的侵蚀？关于宗教与AE的关系以及对资本主义、工业化、城市化和世俗化的反应的问题，是理解韩国殖民主义、宗教和现代性之间交叉的核心。然而，由于狭隘的历史研究未能研究宗教与政治、经济、社会和文化发展的关系，因此获得这些问题的答案一直是一个挑战。在《在地球上建造一个天堂》一书中，阿尔伯特·L。朴槿惠研究宗教团体的进步动力，以挑战现代性的标准概念，并在朝鲜半岛建立一个天国，以减轻人们在日常生活中的激烈破裂。他的研究结果将重新配置关于殖民现代性的辩论，韩国基于信仰的社会行动主义的起源，以及宗教在现代世界中的作用。特别是在地球上建立一个天堂，提出了一个令人信服的故事，关于青年男子基督教协会（基督教青年会），长老会，和ChAE的决心？恩多育开展大规模的农村运动，形成一个以宗教、农业和田园生活为基础的人间天堂。这是一个跨国的故事，来自这三个集团的领导人依靠来自丹麦、法国、日本和美国等国家的思想和制度，帮助他们改革殖民地韩国的政治、经济、社会和文化结构。这本书表明，这些宗教机构提供了话语和物质框架，允许一种替代形式的现代性，其特点是新形式的机构，社会组织和国家。在这样做的过程中，《在地球上建造天堂》重新定位了我们对现代韩国历史的理解。
Why and how did Korean religious groups respond to growing rural poverty, social dislocation, and the corrosion of culture caused by forces of modernization under strict Japanese colonial rule (1910u1945)? Questions about religionAEs relationship and response to capitalism, industrialization, urbanization, and secularization lie at the heart of understanding the intersection between colonialism, religion, and modernity in Korea. Yet, getting answers to these questions has been a challenge because of narrow historical investigations that fail to study religious processes in relation to political, economic, social, and cultural developments. In Building a Heaven on Earth ,Albert L. Park studies the progressive drives by religious groups to contest standard conceptions of modernity and forge a heavenly kingdom on the Korean peninsula to relieve people from fierce ruptures in their everyday lives. The results of his study will reconfigure the debates on colonial modernity, the origins of faith-based socialactivism in Korea, and the role of religion in a modern world. Building a Heaven on Earth , in particular, presents a compelling story about thedetermination of the Young MenAEs Christian Association (YMCA), the Presbyterian Church, and the ChAE?ndogyo to carry out large-scale rural movements to form a paradiseon earth anchored in religion, agriculture, and a pastoral life. It is a transnational story of leaders from these three groups leaning on ideas and systems from countries, such as Denmark, France, Japan, and the United States, to help them reform political, economic, social, and cultural structures in colonial Korea. Th is book shows that these religious institutions provided discursive and material frameworks that allowed for an alternative form of modernity that featured new forms of agency, social organization, and the nation. In so doing, Building a Heaven on Earth repositions our understandings of modern Korean history.
