ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to suggest the ethical, missional tasks of the South Korean Church for the peaceful reunification of Korea based on the assumption that the reunification movement is the ethical and missional task of the Korean Church. For this purpose, first, this research explains the process of the division of Korea and the necessity of reunification. And this study argues the theological reasons for it: 1) the reunification movement is the action of fulfilling the mission of reconciliation, 2) it is the action of fulfilling the mission of love and justice, 3) it is the act of fulfilling the mission of the realization of the Kingdom of God. Lastly, this research suggests the ethical and missional tasks of the South Korean Church for the peaceful reunification of Korea such as the aspect of church ethics in terms of prayer, repentance and church renewal movement, the theological reflections that make paradigm shift from dualistic theology based on extreme anti- communism ideology and division to the peaceful reunification theology, and the social ethical viewpoints for justice, reconciliation, and peace.
