ABSTRACT

The Christian Family Life Movement started with the purpose of establishing a Christian family properly in response to the secularization of the Korean soceity after the World War II. After liberation, the Christian community tried to establish a Christian state through the construction of Christian families. Accordingly, the ‘Christian Family Life Committee’ was launched and the family life movement was conducted through education on family theory and lectures. Above all, through 『New Home』, they tried to spread the Christian Family Life Theory. The discussions presented in 『New Home』 are about ‘the establishment of the Christian Family Life Theory,’ ‘a rational and scientific housewife,’ ‘an emphasis on motherhood,’ ‘chastity and marriage,’ and ‘a family serving the nation.’ The Christian Family Life Movement has the character of a culturalistic enlightenment movement with the background of the times to help the nation in the chaotic Korean society of the 1950s.
