Don Baker's survey of the roles folk religion, Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity and Korea's indigenous new religions have played in Korean life, part of the University of Hawai'i Press's Dimensions of Asian Spirituality series, treating Daejonggyo (also spelled Taejonggyo) directly as one of the indigenous new religions it covers.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Reliability tier 1: a peer-reviewed-adjacent academic monograph, published by a university press in a named scholarly series, written by Don Baker, a professor of Korean civilization at the University of British Columbia and an established specialist in Korean religion, including its new religious movements. NotesCited for its treatment of Daejonggyo, which Baker records as claiming that its own techniques are the same practices Dangun taught while he ruled Korea's first kingdom, and as holding three Dangun-era texts to be authentic scripture, the specific claim this pass needed to source Dangun's standing as a modern object of religious veneration rather than only a founding legend.
