초록

This study explores what the Korean Presbyterian Church can learn from its early baptismal catechumenate, especially as practiced between the 1880s and 1920s. While the early Korean church took the baptismal catechumenate seriously, the contemporary Korean Presbyterian Church has only a form of the catechumenate, without an accompanying rigorous practice or much baptismal preparation. Exploring the early Korean catechumenate offers significant insights for teaching new believers how to become mature life-long disciples in a faith-forming community. The result will be to restore the character and social credibility of the early Korean church in Korean society, and to strengthen Christian identity so that believers can withstand the reality of spiritual warfare and live as faithful witnesses. In this paper I explore how the early Korean church practiced the baptismal catechumenate and how the modern church does so today. I address the problems with both the early and contemporary forms of the catechumenate, and identify those aspects of the spirit of the ancient baptismal catechumenate that warrant restoration.

Abstract

This study explores what the Korean Presbyterian Church can learn from its early baptismal catechumenate, especially as practiced between the 1880s and 1920s. While the early Korean church took the baptismal catechumenate seriously, the contemporary Korean Presbyterian Church has only a form of the catechumenate, without an accompanying rigorous practice or much baptismal preparation. Exploring the early Korean catechumenate offers significant insights for teaching new believers how to become mature life-long disciples in a faith-forming community. The result will be to restore the character and social credibility of the early Korean church in Korean society, and to strengthen Christian identity so that believers can withstand the reality of spiritual warfare and live as faithful witnesses. In this paper I explore how the early Korean church practiced the baptismal catechumenate and how the modern church does so today. I address the problems with both the early and contemporary forms of the catechumenate, and identify those aspects of the spirit of the ancient baptismal catechumenate that warrant restoration.
