天符經을 통해서 본 東學과 多夕의 기독교이해 -기독교의 토착화/세계화를 위한 水雲과 多夕의 한 접점 모색

Abstract

What I pay attention to in this article is the relationship between Su-wun(水雲) and Da-seok(多夕) in their thoughts. Ae is generally known, Dong-hak(東學) has been recognized as an independent national religion which rediscovered the forgotten God of Korean people. It is indicated by the fact that Dong-hak is a system of thought which has inherited and developed the theory of three foundations(三才)as the Worldview of Cheon-bu-gyeong. In this Paper, what I find to be missing in Da-seok's thought is that he did not mention Su-wuns's Dong-hak. Given the fact that Da-seok had much interest not only in Buddhism and Confucinism, but also in Cheon-bu-gyeong. It is more or less unexpected that he took Dong-hak, which was closely related the Scripture, out of question in his writing. For this reason, the main task of this article is to correlate Su-wuns' Dong-hak and Da-seok's thoughts(Understanding of Christianity) in the framework of the Idea three foundations originating from Cheon-bu-gyeong. In order to make these points clear, I will discuss the following in order. First, the theory of three foundations proclaimed in Cheon-bu-gyeong as the fundamental framework of both Dong-hak and Da-seok's thoughts. Second, the fundamental feature of Da-seok's understanding of Christianity, Third, comparison of Da-seoks understanding of Christianity and Dong-hak in term of their fundamentals structure. Lastly, the encounter between Da-seok's Christianity and Dong-hak and its implications for the world history and theology of life.
