Abstract

The Jonggyogae Jaemyungsa Gangyeonjip; the Sermon collection by renowned preachers of Religious Circle has twenty sermons including 5 seasonal sermons. The collection was published in July 1922 during the Japanese colonial period. The book is the first seasonal sermon collection in Korea and the second sermon colletcion of Korean church followed by the Paikmok Kangyun. The Jonggyogae Jaemyungsa Gangyeonjip  was a transcript of tape-recording by the editor Han Seokwon, who attended  the actual places of preaching. This makes the book special that the book reminds the readers of the vivid voices of the preachers. The book also secretly reveals the spirit of resistance of the 33 Korean leaders, including seven pastors, against the Japanese empire. It shows several parts of deletion by the Japanese Government-General of Korea without any editing. Therefore, the book is a valuable historial records of Korean history. From the Jonggyogae Jaemyungsa Gangyeonjip, we can confirm that there were various terms, which indicated today’s ‘preaching.’ As time went by, the term ‘preaching’ was accepted as today’s meaning.  Moreover, the topical preaching was widely used as one of the representative preaching styles in Korean church, which was influenced by Western missionaries. Moreover, this study confirms many preachers' tendency to select the New Testament over the Old Testament.  Through this study, we will see some different features between the seasonal preaching in the Jonggyogae Jaemyungsa Gangyeonjip and current seasonal preaching style. Furthermore, sermons in the book reveal some features such as using a life story in the introduction. Through the study about the Jonggyogae Jaemyungsa Gangyeonjip, we will examine sermons of the early Korean church and some applicable-useful points for the 21st centuries’ Korean preachers.
