기독교대학 학원복음화 전략을 위한 한 연구

Abstract

This paper analyzes why the Christian University fell into the identity crisis in the current situations and also finds out how to restore the Christian identity and strive for the campus evangelization. For the campus evangelization, we propose strategies in terms of both evangelization and Christianization. Evangelization seeks to make non-Christians the disciples of Christ through missionary efforts while Christianization cultivates and disseminates Christian culture and worldview, that is, the foundation and culmination of evangelization. Presenting the cases of Hannam University, we display missionary strategies for the campus evangelization. As for the institutional structure, we argue for restructuring the chaplain’s office into an missionary agency which can activate and intimately connect the various missionary agents in the university such as faculty and staff members, Christian student association, campus missionary groups, and local churches. Regarding the campus evangelization, we emphasize a systematic evangelization program on the one hand: seeding( evangelism) for unbelievers; watering(nurture) for beginners; and growing( leadership training) for leaders. On the other hand, we suggest the Christianization program including integration of faith and learning, formation of Christian culture on campus life, and expansion of Christian worldview. We expect that an effective campus evangelization will help to restore Christian identity and reestablish the educational purpose of the Christian university in crisis today and that it will give an opportunity to strengthen the Christian university to respond to challenges.
