The purpose of this study is to search for a relationship between Gospel and Culture. According to traditional typological study, Gospel and Culture are sorted into five groups. Also, this paper seeks to evaluate five typological models between Gospel and Culture. A study between Christ and Culture began with H. Richard Niebuhr, who divided five Types:　Christ against culture, Christ of culture, Christ above Culture, Christ and culture in Paradox, Christ the Transformer of Culture. Paul G. Hiebert sorted Gospel and Culture into three types: Gospel against Culture, Gospel in Culture and Gospel about Culture. John T. Seamands sorted Gospel and Culture into four types: Fundamental model, fulfillment model, discontinuity model and liberal model. And Theo Sundermeier sorted Gospel and Culture into six types: ‘Konfrontationsmodell’ which is based on ‘Dualismus’, ‘pluralistische’ Modell, ‘Fortschrittsmodell’, ‘Erfullungsmodel’, ‘antithetische Modell’ and ‘Konvivenz Modell’ based on good relationship with neighbor. This study is based on the above preceding research that is sorted into six models on study between Gospel and Culture: fundamental model. pluralistic model, fulfillment model, discontinuity model. transformation model and creative model. The fundamental model is based on relationship between Gospel and Culture that is considered devil and no value to dialogue. The pluralistic model is based on the scriptural phrases Ⅰ Timothy 2:3-4 and Hebrews 11:6. This models recognizes another religion as one way to salvation as Christianity. The fulfillment model is based on the theory of evolution that Christianity is the fulfillment of another religions. The discontinuity model is based on the theory of H. Kraemer that no continuity between the Christian Message(Gospel) and Non-Christian World(Culture). But the only one continuity between Gospel and Culture is girded with ‘Einstellung und Haltung des Missionars’. The transformation model is based on the theory of H. Richard Niebuhr that Christ is authorized as the Transformer of Culture. But this model is based on the dualism that Gospel is an invariable truth and Culture is an variability. According to the results of study of models, this paper suggested one useful model between Gospel and Culture. This creative model is based on the dynamics of Gospel and respect to neighbor culture and religion that are focused on the mission of the Holy Spirit, who is the presence of Christ. The free action of the Holy Spirit The purpose of this study is to search for a relationship between Gospel and Culture.
