What direction should Korean Christianity take in response to criticism of lacking public responsibility, communication, empathy, and hospitality? Augustine’s De Civitate Dei provides valuable insights for solving this problem. According to Augustine, social spirituality is an essential task required by the ethics of being a disciple. Above all, Augustine’s concept ‘amor socialis’ should be expanded to include the practice of public responsibility, communication, empathy and hospitality. Through contemporary dialogue with Augustine, Korean Christianity should strive for social spirituality based on discipleship. Korean Christianity, which is actively interested in discipleship, disciple ethics, and disciple training, should not only focus on internal maturity and training but also cultivate publicness and otherness. Korean Christianity must mature to the point of realizing the ethics of being a disciple in civil society by pursuing social spirituality.
