Did the scent of incense ever lead to the founding of a university? Here at the Seoul University of Bible and Theology, the answer is a resounding yes. This institution, nestled in the Dongjak-gu district of Seoul, has a history as compelling as the scriptures it studies. The Seoul University of Bible and Theology traces its origins back to a pivotal moment in Korean history. In 1938, the 27th Chosun Presbyterian Church made a decision that ignited a firestorm of protest. They declared shrine worshipping a national ceremony. Pastor Lee Gyesil and his followers refused to comply. They broke away from the Hannam presbytery, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become the Seoul University of Bible and Theology. Their initial Bible school began humbly in 1953 on Geoje Island. Driven by their Calvinistic beliefs and a commitment to biblical inerrancy, they nurtured future religious leaders. The school eventually relocated to Seoul, growing and evolving over the decades. In 1999, it officially achieved university status, becoming the Seoul University of Bible and Theology we know today. The university sits on Sindaebang 14-ga-gil, offering master’s and doctoral programs in theology and related fields. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the pursuit of theological knowledge. The Seoul University of Bible and Theology isn’t just a place of study. It’s a living monument to a courageous stand against enforced religious practices. It’s a beacon of hope, illuminating the path for generations of theological scholars.
