A method and apparatus for driving a plasma display panel (PDP) by which reset stabilization can be achieved are provided. In the method for driving a PDP, successive field periods, each including a reset period for initializing the state of respective cells, an address period for selectively discriminating cells to be turned on from cells not to be turned on and for performing an addressing operation, and a sustain period for discharging the addressed cells are performed. A reset stabilization period for inducing discharging in a discharge space between cells is additionally performed before the reset period if a rest period having a predetermined time duration is present between the sustain period of a preceding field and the reset period of the field. Therefore, the reset operation can be performed in a state where discharge cells between electrodes are sufficiently primed.
