The present study aims at exploring the biblical values witnessed inthe various cases of conflict and strife in the Bible, and extending theirapplicability to the realm of actual lives. For this, this article mainly dealswith the Pentateuch, especially the book of Genesis, in order to seekbiblical values for conflict-solving. 1) Familial union2) Mediators between two parties for settling conflicts3) Principle-oriented resolution4) Problem-solving on the basis of values5) Concept of God as for all human beings and establishment of acommunity for serving othersWe may add more biblical values to these if we continue to look intoother places in the OT besides the Pentateuch, and also the NT. For the purpose of implementing biblical values in present situations,this study delves into the AGREE model, which is used for conflictresolvingin the are a of leadership. We were able to confirm, inconclusion, that this model, with slight modification, is applicable as animportant tool for conflict-solving. However, we could not apply this model to an actual situation forconflict-resolving. Nonetheless, we found a test case for this model. Over the issue of building a power transmission tower, there arosea conflict between residents in Gunsan Cit y - both the emergencybody and the Christian association working as its representative - andthe parties to the construction (Korean Electric Power Corp. and theGunsan municipal office). In the mean-time, a committee for citizens’interests, known as the Anti-corruption & Civil Rights Commission ofKorea, played an important role in solving the problem peacefully. Thepresent writers have applied the AGREE model to the ongoing process,and tried to find out how biblical values worked in the process ofconflict-resolving. In doing so, we were able to testify that biblical valuesfor conflict-resolving can also be used in the context of everyday life. The present writers wish that an individual church or a local Christianunion might play a practical role in addressing various issues arising fromevery corner of society in this country. By doing so, the Korean churchwould accomplish an effective expansion of the gospel.
