About this title

Review:

Kim's book deals with significant issues in the history and sociology of religion such as sect to church development, neo-colonialism, the religious other, the rise of Christianity in the global south, and the supposed secularization of America. This book is well organized and informative and can be digested by individuals new to the academic study of religion while being illuminating for the seasoned scholar. (Maclane E. Heward, Reading Religion)

imaginative, rich, and thought-provoking study (K. Kale Yu, Sociology of Religion)

A powerful tale of a growing movement-missionaries to the United States. Wonderfully researched and written, The Spirit Moves West is engaging, important, and a page-turner. For most readers, what is contained in these pages is stunning. (Michael O. Emerson, Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research, Rice University)
