This article is to introduce a brief overview of Korean Protestant Church education in English, which entails a summary of that history. Such a study involves a classification of previous literature conducted on the history of Christian education in Korea, all of which has been in Korean to date. This initial study is descriptive in nature and provides a framework for future study, which allows for the author to later introduce works that will argue for the identity and direction of Christian education in the country. The author divided Korean Christian education (KCE) history into four periods: Beginning of KCE, Suffering of KCE as a part of the Korean Church, Recovering of KCE, and Flourishing of KCE. The rationale for the four divisions in Korean Christian education history is chronologically concurrent with major political developments in recent Korean history. They coincide with the Korean suffering under Japanese annexation, independence from Japan, the Korean War, and the development of democracy in Korea. This is so because the history of Korean Christian education is inextricable from Korean church history and Korean church history cannot be explained without the backdrop of Korean history. As such, KCE history cannot be told alone apart from the history of the Korean church, nor can Korean church history be told apart from recent Korean history. Reviewing the history of church education in Korean Protestant churches, the author divided the material into four periods each having three sections: (1) Phenomena (Context) and Characteristics of the Period based on historical events, (2) Educational activities, and (3) Evaluation of Church Education and Christian Education within each period.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
