AB - The aim of this paper is to analyze South Korea’s unification policies and make ethical suggestions in light of Christian theological teachings on war-peace tenets. I will, first of all, analyze South Korea’s unification policies, particularly in terms of tension reduction and peaceful coexistence, which are the most significant and urgent goals for unifying two Koreas. This analysis covers major unification policies made by the republics after the division, namely from the Rhee government (1948-1960) to the Kim government (1997-2002). Second, I describe holy war (the Crusade), just war (Luther and Calvin) and pacifism (Erasmus) and examine their political and ethical implications. Third, I define “holy war type,” “just war type” and “pacifist type” and evaluate each policy in terms of these three types. Lastly, I conclude with some ethical suggestions from the Christian traditions on war-peace tenets, so that they can reduce tension reduction and foster peaceful coexistence between the two Koreas.
