정류 이상근 박사의 그리스도론

Abstract

Jung-Ryu( ) Dr. Sang Kun Lee 靜流 had a great influence on Korean theology through his commentaries on the New Testament, the Old Testament, and the Apocrypha. (Jae Woog Bae, Summary, 32, 46, 59, 66) Jung-Ryu and Adolf Schlatter are similar in various perspectives. They are basically defined as conservative tendencies. An important commonality between Jung-Ryu and Schlater appears in the com�mentary on Matthew. The Gospel of Matthew is particularly important to Jung-Ryu. Because in addition to the Christological statements, ecclesiological statements are found in Matthew’s Gospel. Many of Jung-Ryu’s works were made during the confusing times of Korea(1960’s). His biblical commentary could be the solution for the Korean church today in the era of secularization (Zeitalter der Skularisierung). (Summary, 32) The restoration and renewal of Korean Church lies in returning to the Bible (Summary, 37). The Christological statement is the most important in the path to be restored (Summary, 35) It makes sense that Jung-Ryu chose the Gospel of John to discuss with ‘Mahayana-Buddhismus’. The Gospel of John is in many ways consistent with the Synoptic Gospel in Jesus' baptism and in Passion and Resurrection, but in many details it is out of harmony. It is associated with the diversity of Christological titles in the Gospel of John. Its diversity emerges in a specific traditional-historical context, and on the other hand it discloses a different function. The Gospel of John is at the peak of theological development and has a very important meaning for rectification. In his master's thesis, Jung-Ryu dealt with ‘The Statue of God’ and in his doctoral thesis, he compared ‘Jesus in John’s Gospel and the Buddha in the Great Buddhism’. Jung-Ryu chose the Gospel of John in order to contrast with the elaborate doctrine of Mahayana Buddhism, for clear understanding of 'high-christology' that unified in the Gospel of John. In addition, Jeong Ryu tried to clarify the Christology of John’s Gospel by comparing and studying the developed Christology of John's Gospel with Mahayana Buddhism. John’s Christology is impressively exclusive in describing the dignity of Jesus. Jung-Ryu talks about paternity in relation to the concept of father in John's Gospel. God's Father is the basis for the paternity of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ sonship is unique and determined by the Father in his relationship with the Father. Jung-Ryu showed us Jesus according to the Gospel of John, with divine glory in an incomparable way. For that we are very grateful to Jung-Ryu who was a theologian for the church, also studied all his commentaries from the viewpoint of the church and also proclaimed Jesus from the viewpoint of biblical and practical theology.
