한국의 기독교교육과 역사

Abstract

In this paper I have reflected the history of Kerean Christian Education not in the narrow perspective of education as an institutional history but in the broad perspective of education as a cultural history, not a discriptive history on the past but the history as the story of anticipation of the future from the time of opening its doors to foreign countries to the end of Imperial Japan’s colonial governance. The history of christian education in Korea is very unique because the special purpose for the saving of the nation has dissolved the general purpose of the developing workers for the kingdom of heaven and the building of the kingdom of God in this world in the varieties of curriculum and contents, forms and methods of christian education. I have investigated this characteristic in Underwood of his missionary activities with maximizing the patriotic motivation of korean scholars in high society, in Lee Sang Jae of his christian cultural movement accompanied by patriotism and saving the country, in the event of 105 man, the 3.1 independence movement, the movement for the promoting of products, and the deny exercising shrine worship, etc., and in the christian cultural movements by women. I saw history as above and asked the meaning of history of korean christian education: How can we invoke the past to present and ask its meaning toward the future? And I emphasize that the gospel should be imprinted in the heart of individual in the present context and expressed in unique and concrete life.
