Kun Sam Lee (1923-2007) is recognized as one of the most influential Calvinist theologians in Korean church history and a pioneering figure in the Christian worldview movement. This study critically engages the assessments of leading Korean theologians-Yung Han Kim, Seung Goo Lee, and Gil Sun Ryu-who contend that Lee's understanding of Calvinism was primarily influenced by the theological legacy of B. B. Warfield. This dissertation, however, argues that Lee's theological vision moves beyond Warfield's influence, presenting a unique synthesis of Dutch Reformed thought, particularly Cornelius Van Til's presuppositional apologetics and Abraham Kuyper's neo-Calvinism. Accordingly, it positions Lee as a central figure in developing an integrative form of Calvinism within the modern Korean church.Although deeply rooted in the Reformed tradition and shaped by figures such as John Calvin and B. B. Warfield, Lee diverged from Warfield in his epistemological framework. Warfield, influenced by Common-Sense Realism, emphasized the constructive role of reason within the American theological tradition. In contrast, Lee adopted Van Til's presuppositional apologetics, an influence mediated through Yune Sun Park (1905-1988), a Korean theologian and Westminster Theological Seminary graduate. A close reading of Lee's writings reveals a strong alignment with Van Til's rejection of epistemological neutrality between believers and unbelievers, affirming analogical knowledge grounded in Reformed covenant theology. Furthermore, Lee extends Van Til's presuppositional method into the domain of contemporary theological critique through what is commonly referred to as the transcendental approach.Lee's Calvinist perspective on culture is marked by a critical yet constructive engagement with Kuyperian neo-Calvinism. He appropriated Kuyper's doctrine of common grace while incorporating insights from Klaas Schilder, Richard Niebuhr, and Herman Bavinck. Central to his cultural theology is the concept of the covenant, which he employed as a theological framework for understanding the believer's engagement with the world. For Lee, cultural participation is inherently covenantal: it entails faithful presence and transformation grounded in the redemptive work of Christ.Finally, Lee's vision for Christian higher education further exemplifies his integrative Calvinism. His efforts to establish a robust Calvinistic approach to culture and education culminated in his long-standing commitment to Kosin University. There, he sought to develop a leading institution of Christian scholarship rooted in a comprehensive biblical worldview. Drawing inspiration from established models such as Calvin University (U.S.), the Free University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Potchefstroom University (South Africa), Lee pursued an ambitious and unprecedented initiative in the context of modern Korean history.He upheld the Bible as the infallible Word of God and the ultimate foundation for all ethical and cultural engagement. As both a theologian and a practical Calvinist, Kun Sam Lee exemplified the integration of Reformed theology with a vision for cultural transformation in Korea.
