The purpose of this study is to analyze the social welfare ideology and social welfare education practice theory of Deok Joon Kim(1919-1992) who was a pioneer in Korean social welfare education and a founder of Korea's very first independent department of social welfare. Through examining his life, and social welfare related works, ideology and education practice theory following conclusions were derived. Relationship involving first, spirit of shalom, second, human dignity, third, love of the cross, fourth, social justice, fifth, worshiping God and loving human being, and sixth, love of neighbors were found. These social welfare ideology and social welfare education practice theory of Deok Joon Kim are values that can resolve today's Korean social welfare education problems and insights which would reestablish essential goals and objectives in cultivating social workers with principles. These could be applied to Korean social welfare education in forms involving social worker's justice, stance, role, and function.
