Description
Who is the True Savior, Messiah Jeong Do-ryeong?
Humanity has always waited for a savior. From the messianic hopes of Judaism and Christianity, to the Maitreya in Buddhism, the Mahdi in Islam, or countless modern cult leaders who claimed divine authority-every age has clung to the dream of someone who would rescue us from despair. But as this book asks sharply: What use is a savior if they arrive too late?
Kim Jin-sil’s Who is the True Savior, Messiah Jeong Do-ryeong? is not just another religious or philosophical reflection-it is an urgent wake-up call. The book begins with the stark realities of our age: climate catastrophe, rising nuclear threats, extreme inequality, pandemics, and the unchecked power of artificial intelligence. Political leaders are paralyzed by self-interest, economic elites chase short-term gains, and religions, instead of guiding humanity, often exploit fear through what the author calls “Messiah marketing.” With billions praying for salvation, why does the world only grow worse?
The book then traces the deep history of the savior concept, from ancient myths and tribal shamans to the rise of world religions. It reveals how the longing for salvation is rooted in fear, suffering, and-often-selfishness: “save me, save us, even if others perish.” This selfishness explains why savior movements across history-from Hong Xiuquan’s Taiping Rebellion to Jim Jones, David Koresh, and cult leaders in modern Korea-have ended in violence, tragedy, and disillusionment.
Kim does not stop at critique. In the later chapters, the book turns to the conditions of a true savior in the new era. A genuine redeemer, the author argues, will not claim divine status, nor seek wealth or power. Instead, the true savior must:
ㆍ Solve real-world problems through action, not empty promises.
ㆍ Speak in a universal human language, beyond doctrines and dogmas.
ㆍ Live as an example of altruism, embodying the very values they preach.
ㆍ Reject the temptation to call themselves a “savior” at all.
And then comes the book’s most provocative conclusion: the savior is not one person at all. The final chapters insist that every human being must become a savior in their own capacity-by practicing altruism, building solidarity, and taking responsibility for the survival of our civilization. Salvation will not descend from heaven; it must rise from within us.
This is not a comfortable book. It challenges religious exclusivism, exposes the failures of false messiahs, and questions whether waiting for a redeemer has become humanity’s most dangerous illusion. But it is also a deeply hopeful book. By redefining the very idea of Messiah, it empowers readers to see themselves as agents of salvation in an age of global crisis.
???? Who is the True Savior, Messiah Jeong Do-ryeong? is both an indictment of blind faith and a manifesto for ethical responsibility. If you have ever wondered why so many have claimed to be messiahs, why humanity still suffers despite billions of prayers, or what it really means to “be saved” in the 21st century-this book is the most urgent, unsettling, and inspiring guide you will find.
