부흥과 교회성장은 분명 다른 개념이지만, 많은 한국 기독교인들은 부흥과 교회성장을 동의어로 사용하고 있다. 예를 들어, ‘교회가 부흥했는가?’라고 질문을 할 때, 사람들이 알고 싶어 하는 내용은 대부분 교회의 숫자적 성장 여부이다. 이러한 경향은 1903년부터 1907년까지 지속된 초기 한국 대부흥의 시기에 있었던 교회성장 경험으로부터 시작되었다고 볼 수 있다. 이 논문은 부흥과 교회성장 간의 차이와 관계를 부흥의 의미, 목적, 결과를 중심으로 연구하고 있다. 만일 진정한 부흥이 일어난다면, 그 부흥의 결과는 교회성장으로 이어진다. 하지만 부흥 없이도 교회성장이 있을 수 있다는 점에서 교회성장과 부흥은 다르다. 그러므로 부흥과 교회성장이 매우 밀접한 관계에 있음에도 불구하고 이 둘은 서로 다르다고 볼 수 있다.

Der Ursprung des islamischen Mystizismus geht auf den Begriff ‘Sufi’ zurueck, der mit dem Schafwolle bekleidet und asketisches Leben fuehrt. Als ein Sufi gefragt wurde, was der Sufi sei, antwortete er, ein Sufi sei ein Mensch, der nichts hat, aber von nimandem in Besizt genommen wird. Im Hintergrund des islamischen Mystizismus liegt die Entwicklung des Islams nach dem Tode von Muhammad insbesondere durche den Eroberungskrieg von Umaiya Hally(661-750). Die Machthaber des Islams wurden reicher und politisch unterdrueckerisch. Dagegen gab es immer wieder eine Gegenbewegung, die die Umkehr und die Ehrfurcht vor Gott aufforderte und dem Leben von Muhammad als ein ideales Leben nachfolgen wollte. Die radikale Trennung von der Welt, der asketische und einfache Lebensstil und die Einsiedlung waren ihre Merkmale. Karen Amstrong und Annemarie Schimmen, die besten Wissenschaftlerinnen des Islams, teilen die Entwicklung des islamischen Mystizismus in zwei Kategorien auf, bzw. der Asketik und der Liebe. In dieser Arbeit habe ich versucht, in diese zwei mystischen Bewegungen einzufuehren, um den islamischen Mystizismus am Beispiel von einigen typischen Mistikern zu verstehen. Erstaunlich ist, dass der islamische Mystizismus im 13. Jahrhundert in einer engen Beziehung zu dem christlichen Mystizimus steht. Die beiden zu vergleichen, bleibt als naechstes Forschungsthema. Heute interessiert sich sehr viele Leute ueber die Spiritualitaet. Spiritualitaet hat die Bedeutung im Lateinischen Sinne, ‘atmen’. Und wir stellen gleich fest, dass die Spiritualitaet mit dem Leben zu tun hat. Im Greek hat der Mystizismus seinen Ursprung in ‘mysterion’ und ‘mystikos’, die mit ‘myein’, also ‘schliessen’ zu tun haben. Wenn man die Spiritualitaet vom Mystizismus unterscheiden will, bedeutet die Spiritualitaet einen Weg von unten zu Gott. Aber die Mystik den Weg von oben nach unten, bzw. von Gott zu Menschen. Die Menschen von heute suchen die Ganzheit(Einheit zwischen Koerper und Seele), Praxis(Einheit zwischen Wort und Tun), Altaeglichkeit(Einheit zwischen heiligen und sekularen) und Geschichtlichkeit(Einheit zwischen Geschichte und Transzendenz) der Spiritualitaet. Und ich gehe davon aus, dass der islamische Mystizismus uns dazu befaehigt, uns mit der geistigen Herausforderung der kapitalistischen Gesellschaft auseinanderzusetzen.

This study focused on the revival movements in Korea, Revival movements had previously taken place in Wales, America, and India, The revival movements in Korea started with the 1903 Wonsan revival which was led by R. A. Hardie, who was a Methodist medical missionary working in Wonsan, Korea. Then the 1907 Pyungyang revival tool place as a historical movement in Korea. This revival movement was begun with missionaries, but it was mainly led by Pastor Sun Ju Kil who was an elder of the Jang Dae Hyun church. This study discovered following the strengths and weaknesses of Korean revivalism through an evaluation based on historical and missiological insights. A. Strengths: 1. Korean revivalism was based on the believers’ repentance as a result of the work of the Holy Spirit. 2. Korean revivalism was stimulated by missionaries, but it was led by Koreans. 3. Korean revivalism spiritually awakened believers, but it also enhanced evangelism and church growth. 4. Korean evangelism stressed prayer which led people to true repentance. 5. Korean revivalism always emphasized God’s word which led people to conversion. 6. Korean revivalism developed the Korean church into an indigenous church, therefore people felt it as their own. 7. Korean revivalism had a great impact upon other countries like China and Japan. 8. Korean revivalism formed a historical tradition in which some great evangelists were born and trained. B. Weaknesses 1. Korean revivalism tended to be otherworldly and eschatological after independence from Japanese colony. As a result, Korean church lost the balance between a spiritual awakening and political participation. 2. Korean revivalism demonstrated some “prosperity gospel” while reflecting Shamanistic faith. 3. Korean revivalism demonstrated some individual churchcenteredness which could cause conflict among churches. 4. Korean revivalism became so secularized that some evangelists fell to worldly temptations. 5. Korean revivalism allowed the Korean church to confuse the work of the Holy Spirit with the “Holy Spirit Movement.” Korean revivalism needs to be understood in terms of a great spiritual awakening movement, evangelism/missions, church growth, ecumenism, an indigenous church, and a holistic mission. To accomplish this, it needs to be approached through Korean church history and missiology. Some great Korean evangelists were discussed in this study. Sun Ju Kil, Ik Du Kim, Yong Do Lee, Nam Su Chung, Sung Bong Lee, Hwal Ran Mim, Hyun Gyun Shin, and Yong Gi Cho were included as great evangelists in the light of their call by God, their revival ministry, their message, and their contribution. The Korean church needs another great spiritual awakening movement to become a true church of Christ.
