한국교회는 일제에 의해 자주와 인권이 짓밟혔을 때 천도교와 연합하여 독립만세운동을 일으키고 이에 적극 참여했다. 세계사와 구속사를 이원론적으로 해석하는 자들은 만세운동이 기독교 신앙과 무관하다고 주장한다. 그러나 하나님의 선교(missio Dei)는 구원받은 피조물 위에 그리스도의 주권을 세우는 하나님 나라를 목표로 하며, 교회사뿐 아니라 전체역사를 그 영역으로 삼기 때문에 한국교회가 참여한 만세운동을 신학적으로 해석할 필요가 있다. 이 논문은 하나님 의 선교 관점에서 3·1운동과 익산4·4만세운동을 중심으로 기독교와 의 관련성과 선교역사적 의미를 준비과정과 피해상황에서 서술하고자 한다.

선교역사에 대한 기술이 서구의 입장에서 점차 비서구의 수용사 (受容史) 중심으로 바뀌고 있다. 하지만 한국교회는 선교의 기원을 장로교 알렌이 내한한 1884년 혹은 감리교 아펜젤러가 내한한 1885년 을 기준으로 1984~1985년에 걸쳐 기념하고 있다. 그러나 선교사 내한 이전에 중국에서 한국인 스스로 복음을 받아들여 세례를 받았고, 이들은 성경번역까지 참여했으며, 한국에서는 자생적 ‘소래교회’를 세워 정기적인 예배를 드리고 있었다. 더구나 내한선교사들은 일본에서 이수정이 번역한 누가복음을 가지고 들어왔다. 따라서 이제 한국교회는 외부로부터의 추동력과 내부로부터의 흡인력을 모두 고려하는 중도파 ‘역사기술방식’을 고려해야 한다. 선교사 내한 이전에 일어난 최초의 선교사건까지 포괄하는 선교의 주체가 되는 하나님의 선교(missio Dei)의 관점에서 한국선교역사를 재정립해야 한다.

본 논문은 1990년부터 베트남에서 활동해온 장요나 선교사의 선교사역을 한국 개신교 초기 선교 역사적 관점에서 고찰하고 있다. 이를 위해 연구자는 특히 장요나 선교사와 언더우드 선교사를 비교하였다. 언더우드 선교사와 장요나 선교사는 해당 국가가 복음전파를 금지 하고 있는 법을 어기고 복음을 전했다는 점에서, 본국에서 교단을 초월한 협력을 끌어냈다는 점에서, 그리고 천주교에 대한 부정적 견해를 가지고 있다는 점에서 공통점이 있다. 반면에 언더우드와 달리 장요나 선교사는 베트남 현지에 있는 선교사들과 유기적으로 협력하지 않았다는 점에서, 자신을 의사로 사칭하며 선교했다는 점에서, 그리고 가족과 자신의 질병을 돌보지 않고 선교사역을 이어갔다는 점에서 차이가 난다. 그럼에도 불구하고 공산국가인 베트남에서 오랫동안 지속해온 장요나 선교사의 선교사역은 교회, 병원, 학교설립 등에서 많은 성과가 있었다는 점과 그가 추구하는 베트남을 포함한 라오스, 캄보디아, 미얀마와 같은 인도차이나반도 선교의 중요성을 간과해서는 안 된다.

역사는 주어진 사료(史料)을 기술하는 것(history)으로는 충분하 지 않다. 왜냐하면 역사는 해석된 역사(Geschichte)일 때 진정한 역사 이기 때문이다. 초기기독교는 박해가 극심했음에도 불구하고 복음이 급속히 확산되었다. 그 이유를 유세비우스는 하나님의 계획에 따라 이루어진 것이라고 하였고, 그린은 확산의 저해요인을 들어 설명하였 다. 이와 반대로 페스틴저는 ‘인지적 부조화이론’을 들어 심한 박해가 도리어 열정적인 선교를 하게 했다고 보았고, 이를 수정한 게이저는 임박한 종말의 기대가 땅 끝까지 복음이 전파될 때까지로 대체되었고 하였다. 이에 비해 야코프 부르크하르트는 지금까지의 수용사(受容史) 중심의 선교역사에서 벗어나 전달자와의 관계에서 재해석함으로써 역사의 객관적 사실을 재구성하려고 하였다. 이를 초기기독교 확장사에 적용하면 복음의 확산에 기여한 흡인력으로서 내적요인과 추동력으로 서 외적요인으로 재해석할 수 있다. 흡입력으로서의 내적 요인은 선교 를 위한 신학, 순교자로서의 증인, 강력한 윤리적 공동체로서의 교회라 고 할 수 있고, 추동력으로서의 외적 요인은 세계를 통일하고 있었던 로마의 정치와 문화, 당시 문명이 서로 교차하는 세 개의 대륙이 서로 만나는 이스라엘의 지정학적 위치라고 할 수 있다.

This paper is to study historical characteristics of social service mission in Korea church before the 1945 liberation of Korea. The classification of an era for historical analysis about social welfare in Korea church is not only necessary, but also is dangerous. Because it could be depended on subjective classification of the researcher, simplified complicated historical processes, and there would be a possibility to classify it individually or selectively. Nevertheless, a missiotheological reflection about christianity society service in the Korea mission history will be meaningful to many people who study social service mission according to the classification of an era and important to Korea church which is in stagnation. In this context, the summingup to social service mission of Korea church before the 1945 liberation of Korea according to period features is necessary. There are two kinds of mission service characteristics in the protestant. One of these is Luther, Calvin and Knox as an ‘ecclesiastical’ type, and the other is sure salvation by individual experience of faith as a ‘nonecclesiastical’ type. Mission movement after Pietism mainly took the 'nonecclesiastical' type. The United States of America which preached the gospel to Korea also was offsprings of the ‘nonecclesiastical’ type. The faith of these people, as a type of pious Puritan, thought a concept of church is the same as an ark separated from the world. It shows at the constitutional law of the separation of religion and politics and the guideline of mission agency. Despite their spiritual salvation separated from the world, nonpolitical actions, and irrational and dualistic faith as what is called an ‘evangelist,’ these people began education and medical works as a starting point of mission at the beginning of Korea mission. These were based on the considerate help and charitable service by each missionary. This type of faith made emotional bond with Koreans in unhappiness as a method for propagating the gospel even though there was not an attempt grasping the underlying and structural problems which were causing miserable lives and political suppression to the pioneer missionaries. So, the local section was set up in ‘Christian Council’ in 1925 and the rural section was set up in 1930, but these were only recognized as ‘something for mission works.’ For example, the local section of ‘Christian Council’ in 1930 was limited only for the dormitory foundation, missionary sending, sewage factory demolition, temperance movement and combined execution of help works. This kind of early mission, which was an unstructural service has the same basis with pious ‘Mitleid’ to the lost souls. Pietism against protestant’s legitimism in the 17th century and illuminism in the 18th century was an important movement that awakened stagnated mission work newly, but focusing on an individual’s complacency and conversion it became the important motivation of mission and the important goal of mission only to save each person from corrupted world. Therefore, the mission of unstructural service has some limitations that restrict missionary works only as a province of converted spirit, given Missio Dei erecting the sovereignty of Jesus Christ and expending the kingdom of God in this world. It was from 1920 that Korea church started to recognize the basic cause of social problems systematically. And also this is originated from the development of international missiotheology. As the first World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in 1910 predicted the world evangelization hopefully, it was based on mission for a human being’s spirit salvation. Consequently, it did not develop the christianity's influence beyond individual spirit salvation. But after Edinburgh conference the world’s history was changing by contraries because of World War. So the World Missionary Conference after 1910 was not held. In Jerusalem conference in 1928 the recognition about the social responsibility of gospel, secularism and other religions was on the rise strongly. Thus, Korea church in the 1920s was interested in social welfare mission according to the stream of world missionary and the social change of Korea(Chosun). Since this was the creed copy of churches of the United States of America and Japan, this social welfare mission had a problem not to include independency and a demand of the times. Many social service movements such as roll back of tuberculosis, medical work, settlement work and moderation movement, and service for women and children’s welfare, therefore, showed the limitation. During the Japanese colonial period Korea church tried to find a clue of national problem solution from a rural community movement because it was based on a type of national church against Japan. The rural community movement also developed actively for about 10 years from the 1920s to the mid of 1930s. However, it should be stopped due to the oppression in and out of church from 1938, for it should choose either religious martyrdom or a conversion to rural community movement. Korea church have experienced a special period in which it practiced society service jointly with Korean people who were in poverty, diseases, oppression and discrimination under the Japanese colonial rule. Nevertheless, Korea church separated from the society due to the limitation of its conservative theology that could not catch fundamental social problems structurally and the faith that salvation is restricted within the individual spirit. This is why Korea church is experiencing its stagnation since the 1990s.

This essay is to explore the life and work of Dr. John Scudder (1793-1855), a missionary to Ceylon and to discuss his theological place in the history of missions. He studied at Princeton College and then at College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. As a successful physician, he realized God’s calling to missionary work abroad while he was reading a religious tract in a patient’s home. Together with his wife, Harriet Scudder, and three other missionaries, Dr. Scudder sailed to Ceylon, today’s Sri Lanka, where he worked thirty six years for mission. His primary choice was India, but the East India Company opposed any missionary work in their ruling territories. That was why he had to the northern part of Ceylon where he was free to preach, teach, and treat. Dr. Scudder was the first medical missionary sent by American Church to foreign countries. He was also a forerunner of the medical mission and the most distinguished model for later medical missionaries. He launched a ministry of intensive evangelism by establishing hospitals and schools. He trained natives to become medical doctors. He also founded several churches after he became a ordained pastor in Ceylon. Dr. Scudder made religious small tracts about biblical stories which were written in Tamil to distribute to numerous people. He had to suffer and overcome countless obstacles and hardships against his missionary work. Ecological diseases, famines, economic burdens, family matters, natural disasters, persecutions from other religious groups, and other troubles could not hinder his ministry. He even suffered the losses of his two daughters in the missionary fields. Nevertheless, his mission was very successful and his wife, Harriet, was also wonderful partner to this missionary work. In 1836, he moved to Madras, India in order to supervise young missionaries. During his later days, he visited many missionary posts in South Asia and Africa in order to share his missionary experiences. His last visiting place was the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, where he went into eternal peace in 1855. Later generations of numerous missionaries were impressed and influenced by his deeds and words. While visiting North America, more than one hundred thousand young people heard his lectures and sermons about mission and foreign cultures. Influenced by Scudder's mission, James Taylor made a resolution to become missionary to American outcasts and westerners. David Coit Scudder also became a missionary after having been impressed by Dr. John Scudder's Mission. Furthermore, his heritage includes forty two missionary descendants, whose years of ministry service in mission fields are close to almost one thousand. One of the most famous medical missionaries out of his descendants was Dr. Ida Scudder who also worked in India.

The modern Korean missions movement cannot be accurately understood apart from its relationship to the church growth movement and the revival movement. Therefore, the main purpose of this dissertation is to examine the factors contributing to the development of the modern Korean missions movement via historical analysis. Chapter 1 introduces the primary purpose of this dissertation, explains and defines the dissertations title, provides a brief survey of the current Korean missions movement, and outlines the background for the proposal.

The objective of this study is to clarify the early state of modern architecture, specifically mission architecture, with the introduction of the Christianity, and for the goal it deals with the architectural activities of pioneer missionaries. Especially it is a piece in a series of those researches after on Graham Lee, and it is focused on the other representative missionary, R. M. Wilson, A. M. Sharrocks, and C. A. Clark. Although coming in the capacity of a medical doctor or an educator, they should play all kinds of roles, such as carpenters, educators, and officers. For this mission, even they didn't have a professional knowledge for construction, they should carried on to establish mission compounds, only with their experience and informations. In this process they needed to be assisted by Korean carpenters, surely. The architectures born by them-selves are designed with a unique eclectic style compounded with those of Korean traditional and occidental. That is to say, the pioneer missionaries made a profound influence to create a new tradition of modern architecture in Korea, which is called as Korean-occidental eclectic style in the period of transition. Moreover, some pioneer missionary, such as Sharrocks, took a part in education of architectural skills. The educated carpenters seemed to be called from outside, and the unique styles could get spread away. On this point this paper has the meaning to clarify historically the continuous development of the Korean architecture through the survey on their activities, on the contrary of the existed recognition that Korean modern architecture has been evaluated to be imported from outside; therefore having a crevice with the its own architectural tradition.
