This paper examines John Calvin‘s view of Islam from the perspective of Christian ethics. While clearly criticizing the theological limits of Islam, Calvin reminded us that they also are the people needed the gospel. Based on Calvin’s view, this paper suggests an applied reading for the task of Christian ethics in Korea. Korean Church as an inheritor of Calvin’s theology, should undertake the evangelical task for being a witness of Jesus toward Islam. And Korean Church should be interested in competition for good beyond simple comparisons with Islamic ethics. Furthermore, Korean Church should practice social spirituality based on Gospel and embody the discipleship.
