초록

The Science and Religion is a Christian apology that was written in response to the intellectual discourse of the 1920s, when materialistic socialism was rapidly propagated to intellectual youth as scientific discourse. Van Buskirk, a professor at the Severance Medical Research Department, combines the ideology of science, which was a qualification for knowledge, with Christian doctrine. In this way, Buskirk's text constitutes a Christian social evolution theory. Specifically, the narrative frame of Darwinism, which had already been approved by science, is dedicated to selectively combine the doctrine of salvation, soul, love, and sacrifice. With this, it criticized the materialism and the mechanical determinism of materialistic socialism which has emerged as a dominant discourse, and built a discourse that would cope with it. It thus provides an important key to identifying the role of Christianity in the formation of knowledge discourse in the 1920’s.
