근대 조선의 미션스쿨과 종교적 감수성 : 미션스쿨 교지를 통해 본 기독교의 수용과 글쓰기의 논리

Abstract

This paper aims to study how the mission school influenced modern Joseon culture and the expression patterns of religious sensitivity within the school’s doctrine. The types of faith which missionaries tried to convey were internalized by receivers such as students and teachers through the educational system. Sustainability of a particular theme and the expression of romantic, emotional language shown in the common school doctrine relates to the process of religious internalization. The figurative expression patterns used by intellectuals with Christian sentiment who edited the school doctrine such as students and teachers, reveals that they wrote and induced sympathy by describing their possessed sentiments and feelings about the methods of biblical rhetoric and metaphor. In the school doctrine, the process of change from the logic of the Christian mission to the logic of the people’s enlightenment is shown. Also, when romantic idealism or the logic of enlightening derived from Christianity was unable to solve social problems, intellectuals replaced Christianity with a new system such as socialism. Intellectuals who were able to compare and contrast the learned Christian doctrines at school with other learning systems practiced the right to describe them in ideological negotiations and contentions. Ultimately by internalizing educated knowledge both inside and outside of the school, this aspect represents that they pursued the issue of Joseon sentiment.
