Synopsis

The article examines the origin, development, and legacy of the Great Protestant Revival in Pyongyang in 1907, a pivotal event in the religious history of Korea. Amid political and social crisis, many Koreans turned to Protestantism in search of both spiritual and national renewal. Influenced by international revival movements, particularly the Third Great Awakening in the United States, the Pyongyang Revival of 1907 became a catalyst for a widespread religious revival. It had a significant impact on shaping the religious identity of Korean Protestants and contributed to the rise of national consciousness during the period of Japanese occupation. The article discusses the historical context, key events, and the lasting influence of the revival on Korean society and the development of Protestantism.
