한국교회 사회참여 패러다임 변화에 관한 연구 - 1970년부터 2000년까지

Abstract

Korean Christians have become indispensable in the democratization of Korean society and the human rights movement by developing social participation campaigns in diverse sectors from the birth of the Yushin regime in the 1970s to the establishment of the democratic government through the uprising of 6.10 in 1987. In particular, Christian intellectuals played an important role in advancing the democratization of Korean society by criticizing the authoritarian regime, and in several sector movements including anti - democratic democratization movement, they played an important role in the formation and development of the movement. On the other hand, the Christian progressive forces that adopted the democratization movement as a missionary task in the 1970s under the Yushin regime began to recognize that democratization should be resolved in the 1980s. In the 1980s, the Christian progressive forces were transformed into a new paradigm of ‘peaceful reunification’ movement on the Korean Peninsula along with the anti-humanitarian democratization and human rights movement in the way of social participation. This paper examines the paradigm shift in the type of social participation in Korea and examines its implications.
