Autorenporträt
Paul Beirne is Dean and Professor of Comparative Religion at the Melbourne College of Divinity. He lived and studied in South Korea for fifteen years, and has undertaken research on the Donghak/Cheondo-gyo religion since 1991. He has visited many of the religion's sacred sites (to which he had unrestricted entry). His contacts within the Cheondo-gyo organization made available to him a wide range of historical resources and rare archival material which provided vital insight into the mind and the heart of Su-un and his religious odyssey.
