Abstract

This study examines the impact of the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on the contemporary preaching environment and offers a theological and practical reflection on how the role and identity of the preacher should be reconfigured amid these changes. Historically, preaching has undergone continuous transformation in its form and modes of reception as societies have moved from oral-centered cultures to text-based traditions, and later to environments shaped by visual and digital media. Within this trajectory, the emergence of generative AI presents both new possibilities and fundamental challenges for contemporary homiletics. Employing a literature-based research methodology, this study engages major works in homiletics, media theory, and AI-related scholarship to trace how preaching has evolved within different media environments across historical periods. On this basis, it identifies the distinctive characteristics of preaching in the age of AI from both historical and theological perspectives. Particular attention is given to the ways in which AI influences the preacher’s spirituality, theological discernment, and homiletical authority. While AI may function as a valuable auxiliary tool in sermon preparation, this study emphasizes that the responsibilities of biblical interpretation, theological judgment, and ethical accountability must remain with the human preacher. In conclusion, the study argues that preachers must move beyond both uncritical acceptance and outright rejection of AI technology. Instead, they are called to employ AI instrumentally with theological discernment while faithfully preserving the essence of preaching and offering clear criteria for proclaiming the Word of God in rapidly evolving technological contexts.

Abstract

Ezekiel 20:25-26 presents a significant theological problem in that it states that God gave Israel “statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life.” This assertion seemingly contradicts the benevolent nature of God and the holiness of His law. This study aims to resolve this difficult passage by employing an intertextual approach, specifically analyzing the connection between Ezekiel 20 and the “Ten Plagues Narrative” in Exodus 5-12 on the basis of the text’s final form. Both texts share common theological themes, including the recognition formula (“that they may know I am YHWH”) and divine judgment against idolatry. This study particularly focuses on the theological and structural parallels between the “hardening of Pharaoh’s heart” in Exodus and the “giving of statutes that were not good” in Ezekiel. Just as God hardened Pharaoh’s heart as an act of judicial punishment after Pharaoh had persistently hardened his own heart and rejected repentance, so Ezekiel 20 demonstrates that God gave Israel “statutes that were not good” as a definite judgment after they repeatedly rejected His life-giving laws. In conclusion, the “statutes that were not good” in Ezekiel 20:25-26 should not be interpreted as God being the author of evil, but rather as an act of divine abandonment and paradoxical judgment upon a people who persistently refused His grace. In light of the principle of judgment demonstrated in the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, this passage functions as a severe warning to the exilic community of Israel that the opportunity for repentance has come to an end due to their rebellion.

Abstract

The spirituality of prayer mountains in Korea has developed through several historical stages, starting with nationalism based on the spirit of resistance during the Japanese colonial period, followed by anti-communism and the faith oriented toward national reconstruction around the time of the Korean War. It also emphasizes a faith focused on God’s grace, along with prosperity-oriented gospel themes and charismatic spirituality that highlights the mysterious work of the Holy Spirit. Korean church prayer mountains led the tradition of prayer in the midst of difficult circumstances during the Japanese colonial period and the Korean War. Osanri Prayer Mountain, established by Yoido Full Gospel Church, likewise offered hope to Korean Christians and preserved the distinctive spirituality of prayer and supplication found in Korean Christianity. However, with the rapid changes in the global society brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and neoliberal economics, as well as the spread of individualism, materialism, and affluence of entering developed society, prayer mountains in Korea have gone through a period of decline. Nevertheless, prayer mountains can still serve as places to enhance spiritual lives for contemporary people who feel a need for spiritual guidance. If they expand their functions to include rest and meditation beyond prayer alone, they can meet these spiritual needs and provide a foundation for fulfilling the public mission of the Korean church.

Abstract

This article advances the doctrine of organic inspiration by proposing a systematic-theological model of reciprocity between the Holy Spirit and the human author. While classical accounts of organic inspiration successfully avoided mechanical dictationism, they have often failed to provide a coherent explanation of the Spirit’s immanent agency in the concrete formation of the biblical text. As a result, the structural relationship among revelation, inspiration, and illumination has remained conceptually fragmented. To address this limitation, the study introduces a resonance model in which inspiration is understood as a dynamic and relational process rather than a unilateral act. Drawing on a Trinitarian framework of reciprocity, without collapsing inspiration into experience or reader-response, the article argues that the Spirit’s agency operates immanently within the author’s linguistic, historical, and intentional capacities. This model reframes inspiration as a continuous movement that connects textual formation and illumination while preserving the canonical authority of Scripture. By articulating inspiration as a resonant interaction between divine initiative and human authorship, this proposal offers a constructive contribution to contemporary debates on biblical authority, pneumatology, and theological hermeneutics within evangelical scholarship.

Abstract

This study offers a comprehensive examination of the roles and significance of Korean American churches as they have been formed and developed within the historical trajectory of Korean immigration to the United States, and it analyzes the major challenges these churches face today in order to suggest future directions. Contemporary Korean American churches face complex challenges, including authoritarian organizational structures, recurring internal conflicts and divisions, disputes over church leadership positions, generational gaps in language and culture, and a weakened sense of public responsibility within a multi-ethnic and multicultural society. Accordingly, this study identifies the strengthening of democratic governance, the expansion of multicultural ministries oriented toward generational integration, and the enhancement of public engagement through service to local communities as key tasks for Korean American churches.
