Description
Résumé:Shortly after the rise of Protestantism in Korea in the 1880s, Bible classes began to be formed to promote the study of Christian scripture. By the mid-1890s, these classes were being widely offered. As a result of The Great Revival Movement of 1907, the need for a system to educate and form new believers became evident. In this article, I examine these Bible classes and discuss their meaning in the educational history of Korea by analyzing the contents of the monthly journal, The Korea Mission Field.
