This book sheds light on North Korean migrants’ Christian encounters and conversions throughout the process of migration and settlement. Focusing on churches as primary contact zones, it highlights the ways in which the migrants and their evangelical counterparts both draw on and contest each others’ envisioning of a reunified Christianized Korea.
