ABSTRACT

This Study examines Korean Christian ethics through the bibliographical approach to the Korean Christian Museum. The significance of this research is to find traces of thoughts on inner ethics (Protestant ethics), to ask and answer what we know and what we do not see. How can we express the encounter between knowledge society in East Asia and Western ethics, especially Christian ethics? This question was not limited to the era of modern transition space, but was a concern for the missionaries who came to preach Christianity to East Asia since the 16th century, who had to convey their ideas through translation. They wanted to make Christians through the introduction of doctrine and education, to change their consciousness and attitudes, and to make achievements through direct and indirect communication. In this process, the aspects of cultural metamorphosis appear. In the Christian materials of the Korean Christian Museum, there were two different flows: East Korean traditional ethics and Western Christian ethics, and traced the Korean acceptance of Christian ethics. The scenes that emerged from the thought were summarized through document classification.
