ABSTRACT

This research delves into Calvin’s Theology of Diakonia in order to discuss the socio-ceonomic issues in terms of inequality, economic polarization and economic ethics. What does Calvin’s Diakonia speak of toward the unequal society and the unfair world? In Calvin’s theology, it is the unfair world, where Diakonia begins and where to do Diakonia. This research discusses Diakonia in Calvin 's economic ethics with three broad themes. First of all, looking over the teachings of God’s absolute sovereignty and self-denial, which are the theological background of Calvin’s economic ethics. Second, presenting Calvin’s view of Diakonia about various themes related to socio-economic ethics. Lastly, this paper examines what Calvin’s social, economic and ethical theology of Diakonia means to us and how it guides us to live today.
