ABSTRACT

The Christian community, which began to reflect on the shock of the April 19 Revolution in 1960, was generally recognized as divided into progress and conservatives through opposition to the Korea-Japan agreement, condemnation of the June 8 election, and opposition to the constitutional amendment in 1961. Therefore, there is not much research and interest in the Christian social movement from 1945 to the end of the 1960s after liberation. Although it was forgotten due to ideological issues during the division of the two Koreas and the Korean War, the Christian social movement to fundamentally solve rural problems, which was one of the important tasks of our people at the time, emphasized the practice of Christian values, unlike the Christian democratization movement in the 1970s. The important task of Korean Christianity in today's society, which has many challenges to solve, is to present new Christian values and ethics beyond the division and confrontation prevalent in our society through historical research and ethical evaluation of the Christian social movement of this period.
