Abstract

In the 19th century, Dutch society was dominated by a worldview rooted in three key pillars: atomistic individualism, a capitalist economic system, and social contract theory. This Enlightenment-based liberalism supplanted the traditional Christian worldview―grounded in a divinely ordained order―and played a pivotal role in the emergence of atheistic secularism. Against this backdrop, Abraham Kuyper emerged as a prominent intellectual and practitioner who sought to explore the public viability of a biblical worldview within Dutch society. At the core of Kuyper’s public theology lies the concept of the household. He emphasized that human beings are not isolated, atomistic individuals but rather communal beings who exist within a covenantal relationship with God. Kuyper viewed the household as the most concrete arena in which God’s covenant is manifested. From this covenantal perspective, he argued that the household should not be driven by individual desires and freedoms, but should instead function as a community of love―characterized by mutual care, responsibility, and self-sacrifice. He believed that this covenant-centered household order held the key to overcoming the social crises caused by individualism and to restoring communal virtues and social values. Ultimately, Kuyper offered a Christian alternative that emphasized the covenantal nature and communal essence of human existence in a response to the individualistic worldview advanced by the French Revolution. This paper aims to shed light on and assess the theological significance and practical importance of the concept of the “household” in Abraham Kuyper’s theology and public policy within this broader context.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has significantly reshaped the faith practices of churches and believers. Online worship services, virtual pastoral care, and digital prayer meetings have become standard practices, with online churches and virtual fellowship increasingly replacing in-person gatherings. While these changes represent an inevitable response to contemporary realities, they also raise significant theological concerns ―particularly regarding the potential loss of the relational essence at the heart of Christian faith. A central question emerges: Can online interactions genuinely foster the deep, personal relationships that Christian discipleship requires? In this regard, the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, especially as articulated in his dissertation Sanctorum Communio, offers a valuable insight. Building on Martin Luther’s theology, Bonhoeffer emphasized that personhood is not an isolated or autonomous reality, but is constituted through relationships―among individuals, within the church community, and ultimately with God. For Bonhoeffer, genuine Christian personhood is formed only through embodied, empirical encounters in the context of community. Furthermore, Bonhoeffer argued that the Holy Spirit’s ultimate aim is to lead believers into communal life within the church. He even described the Spirit as being “in charge of social activity,” thereby underscoring the Spirit’s role in fostering fellowship. The fullness of the Spirit is revealed in relational depth―communion with God and with fellow believers―and spiritual gifts are ultimately bestowed for the edification of the community. This affirms the irreplaceable value of in-person worship and fellowship, even in a digital age.

Abstract

This study explores how Christian theology can offer a constructive response to the contemporary ecological crisis, which has become incresingly complex in the post-COVID-19 era. Amid ongoing critiques of Christianity’s anthropocentrism and its perceived complicity in ecological degradation, this paper turns to John Calvin’s theology of creation to recover a theologically grounded ecological vision. Calvin emphasizes the shared origin of humanity and nature, the equal dignity of all creation as reflecting the image of God, the human responsibility of stewardship over the earth, and the recognition of sin as the fundamental cause of environmental degradation. By placing Calvin’s thought in dialogue with Sallie McFague’s “incarnate ecological theology,” this study aims to deepen the ecological dimension of Calvin’s insights and promote a more relational and holistic theological response to contemporary environmental challenges. The integration of the Reformed tradition with McFague’s theological imagination contributes to a renewed ecological theology―one that moves beyond anthropocentrism toward a more inclusive and life-affirming vision of creation.

Abstract

This study examines the doctrine of theosis (θέωσις) as articulated by the fourteenth-century Byzantine theologian Gregory Palamas (1296-1359), proposing it as a pivotal framework for broadening the understanding of humanity within the context of Korean Protestant theology. Palamas systematically developed the doctrine of theosis by distinguishing between God’s essence (οὐσία) and energies (ἐνέργει α), thereby establishing it as a central teaching within the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Theosis presents humanity not as a static being but as one progressively transformed through participation in the divine life. In contrast, since the Reformation, Protestant theology has largely emphasized doctrines such as total depravity and justification by faith, often neglecting the teleological dimension of human existence beyond justification. Within Korean Protestantism, theological engagement with theosis remains in its early stages, often constrained by concerns over perceived irreverence or associations with pantheism implied by the notion of “becoming godlike.” By exploring the development of the theosis doctrine, the distinction between essence and energies, the vision of divine light, and the nature of the union between God and humanity, this study seeks to recover the theological insights of Palamas. It also aims to contribute to a deeper theological understanding of humanity―one that responds to contemporary calls for solidarity and relationality in the post-pandemic era.

Abstract

This paper seeks to re-examine Augustine’s understanding of time and space from a pneumatological perspective, fostering a constructive dialogue between classical theological insights and contemporary concerns. Augustine offers a profound analysis of the finitude of time and the omnipresence of God, exploring the meaning of eternity within created temporality and emphasizing God’s presence amid spatial limitations. This study investigates how these Augustinian insights can be reinterpreted pneumatologically. As the bond of love within the Trinity, the Holy Spirit mediates God’s presence in time and space, uniting the Church and transforming the lives of believers. Furthermore, this paper undertakes a comparative analysis of Augustine’s theology and Pentecostal theology, identifying both commonalities and differences between the two traditions. Shared emphases include the centrality of the Holy Spirit, the significance of experiential knowledge, and Trinitarian perspectives. In contrast, divergences are apparent with respect to the influence of Platonism, the tension between abstraction and concreteness, and the dialectic of divine transcendence and immanence. In conclusion, this paper argues that the dialogue between Augustine’s theological vision and Pentecostalism yields mutually enriching insights, contributing to the development of a more robust pneumatological theology of time and space.

Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) temples and the temple concept as presented in the Old Testament (OT), scrutinizing both their inherent similarities and fundamental divergences. Its primary objective is to elucidate the unique theological significance of the temple within OT theology. ANE temples were widely regarded as divine dwellings and cosmic centers, fulfilling intricate political, economic, and social functions. Across Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Canaan, temples commonly shared features such as cosmic mountain symbolism, life-giving waters, polytheistic worship, and the legitimization of kingship. Although outwardly resembling these ANE structures, the OT temple exhibited profoundly distinct characteristics. It underscored both God’s transcendence and immanence, was firmly rooted in monotheism, and strictly prohibited the use of divine images. Furthermore, the temple functioned as a definitive manifestation of the covenantal word and a vital center for ethical living, directly linking sacrificial rituals to the imperative practice of justice and righteousness. Through its pervasive eschatological vision, the OT temple ultimately anticipated God’s consummate redemption and the new creation. Accordingly, this comparative analysis underscores the distinctiveness and theological depth of the OT temple concept, demonstrating that it is not merely a cultural artifact but an indispensable component of divine revelation and the broader redemptive plan.

Abstract

This study aims to propose a plan for church architecture and spatial configuration that reflects the rapidly changing environment of contemporary society and the needs of individuals today, grounded in the message of the Gospel. To this end, the study draws on the rhizome theory proposed by Gilles Louis Rene Deleuze and Pierre-Felix Guattari. In pursuit of this goal, in-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured questions with an executive-level pastor (Pastor A) from Yoido Full Gospel Church and the senior pastor (Pastor B) of Art Church. The interview data were analyzed using the qualitative analysis software NVivo 11. The analysis of interviews with Pastors A and B revealed that, while both churches share a common understanding of the church’s identity, they differ significantly in how that identity is embodied in their spatial structures. This contrast reflects two distinct approaches to ministry: one that emphasizes the Word (preaching), aligning with the tradition of the Reformation, and the other that places greater emphasis on engaging with contemporary society through mission work (the Context). Nevertheless, Yoido Full Gospel Church has also sought to foster public engagement through spatial design, aiming to communicate with modern society and the local community alignment with the Gospel. In contrast, Art Church has actively pursued a spatial structure that more effectively facilitates such engagement.

Abstract

Since the mid-20th century, modern hermeneutics has shifted toward reconstructing textual meaning within the subjectivity and historicity of the interpreter. Structuralism, deconstruction, and narrative theory have challenged the objectivist framework of traditional biblical interpretation, emphasizing the role of the interpreter and the generative nature of meaning. This study aims to examine the theological dialogue that emerges at the intersection between these modern theories and evangelical hermeneutics. It provides a conceptual overview of key theories―particularly structuralism, deconstruction, and narrative interpretation―and analyzes the representative responses from evangelical scholars such as Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Craig Bartholomew, and Grant R. Osborne. By seeking a constructive integration of hermeneutics and systematic theology, this paper proposes that evangelical interpretation can uphold biblical authority while acknowledging the interpreter’s historical and communal context. Ultimately, this study contributes to the theological enrichment and expansion of evangelical hermeneutics through critical engagement with modern interpretive theories.
