ABSTRACT

This paper examines critically the theological character of Calvinism which is influential in Korean conservative Protestant theology as it concentrates on the publicity of Calvinism, and suggests an alternative theological aspect, called as social Calvinism. Although Calvinism was not only a legacy of the 'world-formative Christianity,' but also the product of the transformative Christianity that contributes to social progress, the development of politics, and economy in all sphere of life, Calvinism has been understood as an apologetic tool based on the five fundamental points such as total depravity, unconditional election, limited redemption, irresistable grace, perserence of saints in Korean Church. Therefore, in order to fulfill Korea church its public responsibility in society, this research paper delves into the heritage of cultural transformation of neo-Calvinism in the Netherlands Kuyperian tradition and the perspective of liberation theology that have been found in the Reformed Church and theology of South Africa, that is, newly rediscovered in today's church and social situation, and social Calvinism sought.
