‘To set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace’ – Romans 8:6 Light on Korea
Many people are alarmed at North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes and the threats of its leader, Kim Jong-un. But are we aware of Korea’s past? At the end of the 19th century, an isolated Korea became the centre of wars between its powerful neighbours, China, Russia and Japan.
