초록
포스트모더니즘 시대에서 기독교 신자들은 종교개혁에서 출발한 개혁주의 세계관을 담지하고 세상과 문화를 다관점적으로 바라보아야 한다. 즉, 세상을 보는 눈을 여러 각도에서 보는 것은 세상을 이해하고 변화시키는데 필요하다는 것이다. 건강을 접근하는 데 있어서도 다양한 관점은 건강의 증진을 위해 꼭 필요하다. 국민 건강에 대한 다관점적인 접근이라는 측면에서 현대 의학과 보건학에서 상대적으로 소홀하게 취급한 분야가 있다. 그것은 종교이며 특별히 기독교 신앙생활이다. 본 논문에서는 의과학연구에서 밝혀진 대로 정신건강과 사회적 건강이 신체적 건강에 영향을 주는 것을 고찰하였고 기독교 신앙생활이 정신과 신체적 건강을 향상시켜 신체적 건강을 증진할 수 있음을 객관적인 자료를 통해 제시하였다. 또한 성령의 역사를 통하여 신자들이 예수와의 연합됨으로 개인의 칭의와 성화가 이루어지고 삶에서 성령의 열매가 형성된다는 관점은 신앙생활과 건강의 긍정적인 관계의 존재가 신학적으로도 충분한 근거가 있다는 것을 보여주는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 요약하면 필자는 이 논문에서 하나님과의 관계를 증진하는 신앙생활은 정신건강과 사회적 관계의 증진 등 전인건강에 기여할 수 있다는 논지를 객관적인 자료와 신학적인 근거를 통해 그 타당성을 보여주었다고 사료된다.
Abstract
Christians living in the post-modern period should be able to view the world and its cultures with multi-perspectives. It will help us to understand the world we are living in and to change it in a biblical way. Likewise, Approaching the issue of health at different perspectives will bring us to promoting the health of people in a more holistic way. In the modern medicine, different modalities to deal with mental and physical diseases have been developed, that even includes psychosocial interventions. However, christianity and the applications of its contents, that have traditionally been considered to be effective and well accepted in handling diseases among the believers , were relatively neglected and treated as a non-scientific method for preventing and treating diseases. In the current article, the author showed the association of mental health and social relationship among general people with physical health using articles published in scientific journals. Christian lifestyles such as participating in the church worship, private prayer, and bible reading appeared to greatly influence physical health among the church goers in a health promoting way. It seemed that the christian lifestyles affect the physical health through improved mental health and strengthened social support among the practitioners. This finding was also explained theologically. Holy Spirit can affect cognition, affection, and volition of christians through its power, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, which is closely associated with positive mental health and social relationship. It is, then, logically possible to mention that Holy Spirit may affect the physical health of the christians by promoting mental health and social support. In a word, the holistic change of health among the christians take place through "Unio cum Christo" and "Duplex Gratia". Implications of the findings were addressed.
