ABSTRACT
Although western theology dominated Korean Protestantism, there have been meaningful efforts to create Korean theology. Minjung theology and Indigenized theology are the best examples. But the theology of most denominations has been markedly conservative. The introduction of neo-Calvinism brought about changes in conservative theology. Young evangelicals were particularly fascinated by the new interpretation of the Kingdom of God. During the military dictatorship, Protestants led the democratization movement. They also led the human rights movement, the reunification movement, and various activities for workers and farmers. After the June Struggle of 1987, conservative Protestants began to engage in social activities. Of note is that they joined forces with the progressives to help North Koreans. The new situation of the new millennia has created many unfamiliar problems. The future of Korean Protestants depends on how they face these new problems.
