The purpose of this article is to research and evaluate the Chosunyaklon(朝鮮畧論) of the Anglican Church of Korea. Chosunyaklon has not been well known so far. This manuscript small book has been in the Central Library of Yonsei University.
Chosunyaklon is consist of five parts, including the history of Chosun(朝鮮國歷史), the culture(敎化), the religion(宗敎), Christianity(基督敎), and the Anglican Church of Korea(朝鮮聖公會). And the first two pages of The Book of Common Prayer of Korea(公禱文) are sealed in the last part of this book.
Considering the contents of it, Chosunyaklon is supposed to have been written in 1911-1912. And compared with the record about the Anglican Church of Korea, The Book of Common Prayer of Korea in this book is considered to be made in 1908. The contents of this book might reveal the viewpoint of the first bishop of Korea, Charles John Corfe(高要翰, 1843∼1921) and his successor, Arthur Bresford Turner(端雅德, 1862∼1910). This book might be written by John Samuel Badcock(朴要翰, 1869∼1942), who was an important assistant of two bishops. The purpose of this book could be to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Korea Mission by the Anglican Church, and to report the situation about the Anglican Church of Korea to Mark Napier Trollope(趙馬可, 1862∼1930), the new bishop.
The contents of Chosunyaklon, however, were not written according to the true knowledge about Korea. Sometimes the author of it revealed the attitude regarded as Orientalism by Edward Wadie Said. He regarded the Korea History as the history strongly influenced by China, and considered the rule of Japan as desirable for Korea and the mission. Yet the author had tendency to accept the union work over denominations based on ecumenical angle, the attitude to Korea situation of early 20th century was something different to those of missionaries who had supported independent Korea such as Horace Newton Allen(安連, 1858∼1932), Horace Grant Underwood(元杜尤, 1859∼1916), Oliver R. Avison(魚丕信, 1860∼1956), James Scarth Gale(奇一, 1863∼1937), and Homer Bezaleel Hulbert(訖法, 1863∼1949).
