신약성경에 나타난 복음과 문화와의 상관성에 대한 고찰

Abstract

This study is a research to establish what correlations are there between Gospel and culture in New Testament. This study is to clarify culture’s influences on declared Gospel’s form and Gospel’s influences on culture based on the New Testament, followed by inquiry on New Testament’s attitude on cultural value, and study on modern culture and revelation’s issue of application in biblical theory. As the results of the study, it could be found that influence of culture on declare Gospel was great, and on the contrary, Gospel has given a great challenge to culture. When Gospel and culture combined, Cultural Revolution occasionally occurred as Gospel gave a great challenge to culture, but on the other hand, syncretism persecuting, leaving out, or adding Gospel was occasionally shown. When syncretism appeared, apostles call upon believers with strong theological reflection, and in its core is to accept nature, history and human as the objects of God’s new creation by extending Jesus Christ, who was crucified, then resurrected as a universal ruler. It is such a relationship between Gospel and culture where attitudes on cultural value appeared. In other words, New Testament contains history of restraint and history of culture, and as history of culture is connected to God’s goal on humanity, it grants profound motives to culture creation works of Christians. The most difficult issue in relationship between Gospel and culture is the relationship between revelation and culture. It is because this differs according to the viewpoint of researcher’s biblical view. We, on the basis of inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible’s authors, should deal culture from the viewpoint that the Bible, recorded with Helah and Hebrew, has presented eternal truth to mankind of all regions and cultures.
