| Résumé: | Thousands of media articles were published throughout the world about a Korean new religious movement known as Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, after one of its members was infected with the virus responsible for COVID-19. This set in motion a chain of events leading to thousands of her co-religionists being infected, and to an unprecedented assault against Shincheonji by Christian counter-cultists and some politicians. Most of these articles were hastily written, and included serious mistakes about the history and theology of Shincheonji. The article deals with the emergence of Shincheonji within the context of Korean Christian new religious movements, and discusses its main doctrines and practices. |
