A Century of Conversion
In 1900, Korea had almost no Christians. By 2024, nearly 1 in 3 South Koreans is one. That is the fastest documented Christianization of any country in history — faster than the Philippines, faster than any of Europe's medieval conversions. It happened without conquest. Missionaries came with schools and hospitals. The faith spread through a society searching for modernity and identity at the same time.
