- The Scriptures: Daesoon Jinrihoe
Today we are pleased to announce the recent publication of the English translation of 'The Scriptures: Daesoon Jinrihoe.' This collection of three scriptures is made up of 'The Canonical Scripture,' 'Essentials of Daesoon Jinrihoe,' and 'The Guiding Compass of Daesoon.' 'The Canonical Scripture' recounts the birth, life, divine actions, and passing into Heaven of Kang Jeungsan as well as the life and ministry of Jo Jeongsan. Additionally, 'The Canonical Scripture' records many of the sayings and teachings of both figures. The remaining scriptures are separated into two volumes, 'Essentials of Daesoon Jinrihoe' and 'The Guiding Compass of Daesoon.' The former is a concise account of Daesoon Jinrihoe’s doctrines, central beliefs, cosmology, worldview, and orthodox religious lineage, and the latter provides guidelines and instructions for both clergy and laity to follow in the context of Daesoon Jinrihoe’s sacred community. The English translation of these scriptures is well-suited to a large variety of readers including the faithful, scholars, and the curious.
