1920~30년대 한국교회의 사회복음 수용과 사회윤리에 관한 연구

Abstract

This thesis shall look into how Korean churches have dealt with and overcome the situation of 1920's~1930's in a socioethical point of view. Since the March 1st movement, the status of christianity in Korea which was considered as a pioneer of western civilization began to shake. Most of all, the indifference toward social problems of churches and anti-christianity movement of socialists caused a great deal of shock to Korean churches. To deal with these problems, Korean churches had tried prepare a social standard above all things. In Korean churches, the controversy of trying to prepare a definite social standard got into stride in the mid 1920's. The 'Social Gospel' which is called social gospel doctrine and christian socialism were accepted as the social ideology of christianity. The thing which had influenced the controversy of preparing socioethical standard was the 'International Missionary Council of Jerusalem' (1928). The socialization issue of christianity raised at this time became the opportunity for Korean churches to prepare a socioethical standard. The effort of christian community in trying to prepare a socioethical standard has proclaimed the christian group of faithful friends right after the International Missionary Council of Jerusalem and the Social Creed(1932) has expressed the position of christian churches on specific social problems to prepare a socioethical basis for all Korean churches to participate individually. Based on these, the current of various social gospel has been developed.
