ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the citizenship of Korean Protestant Christianity using the methodology of big-data and guides the social ethical direction of Korean Protestantism of the present day. First, this study examines the basic values of citizenship in terms of citizenship education while looking at its development in Western society. Accordingly, this study argues how religion (Christianity) reveals citizenship related to the concept of public rationality and civil religion. On the other hand, this research examines the fundamentalist trends of Korean Protestantism to see why it failed to develop such civility in a healthy manner by focusing on big data trends on the levels of civility that Korean Protestantism is currently displaying in Korean society. This analysis demonstrates that Korean Protestantism is shown to be at a negative level in citizenship in certain areas in the Korean society. In order to overcome this phenomenon, this research sug- gests a social ethics alternative, which calls for the development of virtue in terms of public rationality for the passive appearance of religion, and for the realization of community virtues in order to lead a life of hospitality for peace on an active level.
