요한복음의 기독론적 성전 신학 - 성육신에 나타난 성전 모티프를 중심으로

Abstract

While the Temple theology of the Gospel of John is mainly being studied focusing on specific themes and the relationship with the Temple, this study is an attempt to interpret the entire of the Gospel of John through the prism of ‘Temple theology’. In particular, the Gospel of John explains who Jesus Christ is through the Temple motif. The destruction of the Temple in AD 70 supports the christological writings and typological interpretation of the Gospel of John and Jesus Christ replaces the old Temple and reveals the new Temple as well as the fulfillment of many promises in the Old Testament and the hope for Messiah. The purpose of this study is to examine the implications of the Temple fulfilled in Jesus Christ and to understand christological Temple theology. It is focused on the Temple motif that appeared in the incarnation(1:14) of the Prologue(1:1-18), which provides the key of the interpretation of the Temple motif in the Gospel of John. First, the incarnation of the Word is the fulfillment of the tabernacle Temple type of the Old Testament(Exod 25:8-9), and the glory of sekina(hnykX) revealed to Jesus Christ shows that he is a new tabernacle to meet God. Furthermore, it appears that the archetype of the heavenly sanctuary is the one and only(monogenh,j) Temple ‘spread his tabernacle(evskh,nwsen)’ on earth in the form of human flash. Second, the function of the Temple in the incarnation is God's presence, worship and life also, The ‘rest’ of the Eden sanctuary(prototype), the first Temple, is expressed ‘life’ as the meaning of the redemption history in the Gospel of John. Those who see the glory shown in the incarnation are believers in Jesus Christ and are led to eternal ‘life’(rest). Third, the incarnation of the Word is the fulfillment of the eschatological Temple(archetype) in which the reign and manifestation of God appear, and it is a model of the Temple of redemption that surpasses and fulfills the function of the previous tabernacle Temple. Jesus Christ himself is the fulfillment of God's covenant love, he solves the problem of sin by becoming on the flesh(sa,rx) and leads those who believe in him to eternal life. Therefore, it can be seen that the incarnation of the Word is not only a fulfillment of the Eden sanctuary(prototype) and the tabernacle(type) of the Old Testament, but also it is the archetype of heavenly Temple which fulfills of the eschatological Temple built on this earth. This understanding of the christological Temple theology provides the key to the interpretation of other Temple texts in the Gospel of John.
