SynopsisI-kuan Tao is an important religious movement founded seventy years ago. During this period, its stature grew along with a rapid increase of believers all over the world. Harper Collins Dictionary of Religion in 1995 classified I-kuan Tao in the new category of religions "emerging out of the mainstream Chinese religious traditions or out of the complex universe of the Chinese sectarian tradition." It further states that "I-kuan Tao has proven most attractive to a wide range of Taiwan citizens in both the countryside and the cities by providing them with a Chinese-centered belief system that allows them to confront the stresses of an increasingly secularized and Westernized East Asian society." With over seven millions of believers--with two million in Taiwan and 4.8 million in Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. I-kuan Tao has a significant record of success. The present volume, by one of its prominent church leaders is a pioneering effort to document its rise and development. It is the only authoritative work available to English readers on this most important religious development of recent decades.
