Summary: | Shortly after the rise of Protestantism in Korea in the 1880s, Bible classes began to be formed to promote the study of Christian scripture.

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. |
