Book excerpt: "Two issues central to the transition from the Koryo to the Choson dynasty in fourteenth-century Korea were social differences in ruling elites and the decline of Buddhism, which had been the state religion. In this revisionist history, Juhn Ahn challenges the long-accepted Confucian critique that Buddhism had become so powerful and corrupt that the state had to suppress it, finding instead that the separation of religion from wealth facilitated the Confucianization of Korea and the relegation of Buddhism to the margins of public authority."--Provided by publisher.
