Abstract: Abstract Tracing the ideological origin and context of basic incomeBasic income, it becomes evident that the idea of basic income is a product of history accumulated over hundreds of years. Since the twentieth century, not only the discipline of economics but also the socio-politically conservative and progressive parties have discussed the pros and cons on the idea of basic income and worked on ideological developments and experimental attempts. This study was designed not only to urge interest in the religious and theological circles in the basic income discourse, but also to share the converging and complex research results of theology and social science to Korean society, and to contribute to future cooperation through global networks. To this end, this study was conducted by specialists in various fields of theology and social science by mobilizing their own perspectives and methods, and through surveys they identified awareness and expectations of basic income, and finally, suggested tasks for changing consciousness and enlightenment of the respondents.
