ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to provide foundational data for guiding the Christian worldview in the post-COVID era, based on an academic and social understanding of Christianity. Text data were collected from academic databases and portal sites using 'Christianity' as the keyword, which were then defined as big data. The frequency and keyword analysis results were visualized to present key trends. The findings revealed that more data were gathered from portal sites than academic research or news articles. During the COVID-19, news reports on Christianity focused heavily on virus transmission through Christian gatherings, contributing to public fear and anger. Additionally, many Christians, while refraining from gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19, were reflecting on the direction of Christian faith during the unprecedented suspension of in-person worship. In this study, we emphasized the need for in-depth discussions on the essence of worship in the post-COVID era, the practices of believers, and the public role of Christianity. In particular, we derived the recommendation that it is important to cultivate the Christian spirit as a form of general education.
