AB - ‘The new normal’ situation, caused by the pandemic of ‘the Covid-19’, poses many challenges not only to the way of life but also to political, economic and socio-cultural areas. South Korea has received positive reviews for its exemplary defense to ‘the Covid-19’ but now Korean society has a task of public consensus on ‘the new normal’ based on the value of ‘the Common Good.’ This article argues that for Korean Churches it is more important to take part in the process of establishing ‘the new normal’ in society after ‘covid-19.’ Public theology would be a foundation in public sphere for discussing the ‘the new normal’ not only in a local but also on a global level. Thus, this study argues that the public role of religion on a global level is being discussed by non-theologians such as Jürgen Habermas and Hannah Arendt, and for Churches it means a request to contribute to drive ‘the new normal’ to pursue ‘the Common Good.’ And introducing the public theology of Miroslav Volf and Partick Riodan, the study argues all human being’s flourishing should be the key of ‘the new normal’ and Korean Churches should participate in public discussion and produce a value of ‘the Common Good’ to support all people’s flourishing in Korean civil society after ‘the Covid-19’.
