개혁주의생명신학적 목회를 위한 교회음악 활성화 방안

Abstract

This dissertation has attempted to study on the healing effect of the church music with respect to the Reformed Life Theology. The Reformed Life Theology was proclaimed in May 2010 by Rev. Dr. Jong Hyun Chang, founder of the Baekseok Schools (4 Undergraduate and 7 Graduate Schools), which is composed of 7 Practical Movements of, such as Faith, Theological Restoration, Repentance-Forgiveness, Spiritual Life, the Kingdom of God, Sharing, and Prayer-the Holy Spirit. This sevenfold Practical Movement aims to revitalize the church and christian lives. This movement must be faithful to all sevenfold essential functions to restore them. The researcher believes that one of the most important functions to give life to them should come through worship. In particular, the church music performed in worship should play a significant role in healing soul, mind and body from diseases and suffering. This study was motivated by my recognition that the proper use of church music lacks as a means of grace in worship, and it starts with presenting the grounds and possibilities that human healing through praise can occur sufficiently. While the Korean churches are used to prioritize the preaching, the theological studies about church music are still insufficient. In addition, we conducted a survey on the perception of healing effects through church music as a test case of SaRang Church where I have servied as director of the SaRang Praise Teams for 10 years, and analyzed and evaluated the results of healing effects. Finally, I proposed a plan for revitalizing the healing ministry through church music and concluded the paper by suggesting some practical guides. As a way to revitalize the church, we divided into the revitalization plan for the development of the church music itself.
