본 연구는 다문화사회를 맞이하고 있는 우리의 현실 속에서 기독교적 대응을 총체적 복음 사역을 중심으로 전개해야 한다는 것을 주장한 것이다. 한국사회는 이제 단일민족이란 특성에서 다문화사회로 진입하였다. 이러한 사회적 변화는 긍정적인 면과 부정적인 면 모두가 있다. 특히 선진국들이 다문화정책에 실패했다고 선언하는 상황 속에서 다문 화사회의 현실적 이해를 분명히 하고 기독교적 대응을 어떻게 해야 할 것인지에 대하여 그 방향을 모색해야 한다. 그 결론은 다문화사회 속에서 기독교적 대응은 총체적 복음사역이 그 중심이 되어야 한다는 것이다. 다문화사회는 긍정적인 면만 있는 것이 아니라 부정적인 면도 분명히 있다. 긍정적인 면이라면 해외에 있는 족속들에게 복음을 전할 수 있는 길이 국내에서도 전개될 수 있다는 것이다. 그런데 이슬람 문화의 유입은 매우 부정적인 측면이 있다는 것을 간과해서는 안 된다. 이슬람 문화는 일반적으로 의미하는 다문화주의라는 개념을 적용할 수 있는 것이 아니기 때문이다. 이러한 이유로 인하여 오히려 이슬람 문화 즉 이슬람 종교적 영향이 우리나라에 깊이 자리 잡고 그 영향력을 행사할 수 있다. 이러한 현실 속에서 기독교적 대응을 마련하기는 쉽지 않다. 그런데 총체적 복음사역으로 다문화사회 속에서 접근한다면 하나의 핵심적인 대안이 될 수 있다. 총체적 복음 사역은 하나님의 복음을 전하면서 동시에 다문화 사람들의 아픔과 고통도 함께 치유하고 회복하기 때문이다.

This thesis is to represent a application of ‘Community Health Evangelism’ to ‘Multicultural Mission of Korean churches’ as a method of balanced evangelisations and Christanised social responsibility in the aspect of ‘Holistic Mission’, while there are much interest of Korean society on increasing number of migrants and ‘Multiculture’. The main works of CHE are ‘Maternal and child health’, ‘Village development’. ‘Educational works’, ‘Enterprise for women and children’ and so forth. These works are very similar to works of migrants' centres; ‘Medical services’, ‘Shelters’, ‘Enterprise of Multicultural family’, ‘Consultation centre’ etc. However, these kinds of centres are just offering one way-helps to migrants but, they can not support migrants to develop and grow themselves overcoming their inferior environments and lives. Accordingly, CHE strategy would play positive roles in making their works maintain the identity and trait of Christian gospel in works of Multiculture missions which stress on social responsibility and then suggest concrete and modified alternatives for social evangelisations.

This thesis is review on a study for the relation Gospel and local culture in Korea. There were theological efforts to searching for the relation between Gospel and traditional culture since transmitting christianity to Korea. I call the discussion of the relation between Gospel and traditional culture theology of inculturation. The notion of inculturation is a term that is mainly discussed in the context of encounter between the Christian Gospel and the local culture. Inculturation also means that Christianity takes root within a particular culture, bears fruit and continues to thrive. It is to be lived and evangelized in the life of korean people. Thus when the local culture of Korea have received the evangelical values of Christianity, it had undergone the process of being renewed and perfected. The inculturation of Christianity brings about mutual progress and renewal. When the Gospel meets the culture of Korea, it renews and perfects local culture. In turn, the Gospel gains the richness of the proper value of the local culture. The objective of inculturation is to embody the spirit of Gospel in hope that its Christian message permeate the lives of the people. IncuIturation needs to undergo the process of local and historical adaptation. This presentation will examine the literature on inculturation and focus on the reality of inculturation, what contemporary Koreans desire concerning the inculturation of the Christianity, and the direction that Inculturation needs to take at this time in history. Inculturational theology in Korea is a result of searching for the relation between Gospel and korean traditional culture. In this Thesis I also share putting the question of inculturational theology in Korea. At first I will review the styles of inculturational theologies by korean theologians. An next I will also look upon theological duties which we should have take. There are much studies on the progress of inculturation in Korea. I am proud of that. In conclusion, I will propose some tasks for the theology of inculturation in korean Christianity. At first, there must be relevance of context in the inculturation. And We must study christian culture which has been inculturated since the first age of mission to Korea. I think that the Korean Church is expected to take root in Korean society as Korean Christianity is always being inculturated according to time and place.
