ABSTRACT

I researched into Christian Ethics written by D.S. Gregory and Korean translation by W.L. Swallen(1859-1954). Out of the analysis on the contents and sub titles of the book, I discovered that the missionaries at the Korean United Theological Seminary in Pyeong-yang used well organized curriculum and textbooks for the education of Christian ethics. We can also see the following characteristics in their education. First, in Korean translation, words related with society were either abbreviated or changed. Under the Japanese annexation situation, it seems that missionaries had to emphasize individual virtues in class rather than social ethic even though the book itself had social ethics in its contents. Second, the book Christian Ethics also had well balanced philosophical and theological contents. According to the notebook of students who took the ethics class at the time, we can see that there were lively arguments on the terms like ‘definitions of ethics’, ‘Supreme Good’, etc. Third, for the further development of the education of Christian ethics in Korea we need to do deeper researches on the sources of early Korean theological education.
