할레 경건주의 해석학 : 프랑케를 중심으로

Abstract

German Pietism is not easy to define since its period or own field is too broad and comprehensive. And yet, one cannot deny that German Pietism has inherited the spirit of Reformation and laid the foundation for Living and Faithful Christian based on the Bible in the middle of rapid social change and challenge of Enlightenment and Rationalism in 18’s century. In that perspective, this study covers Halle Pietism and Biblical Hermeneutics. Halle University became the stronghold that plays important role in Hermeneutic History in 18’s century after General Hermeneutic and Theological Hermeneutics going through many different scholar’s ideas and disputes. In the standpoint of Hermeneutic History, Halle University took three steps of Transitional Theology-New Theology-Theological Rationalism. The study of August Hermann Francke, the founder of Halle University, on Biblical Hermeneutic has significantly functioned in this regard. Though it seems that lots of different concepts and ideas are rife, there inherits internal coherence in Hermeneutic. The new conception of Hermeneutic emerged in the intention that traditional Protestantism’s principle of bible be adhered with basic conditions that culturally changed. Pietism Reformation and University’s Philosophical Rationalism or the origin of historical perception should not be recognized in the different backgrounds but seen as attempts to find legitimacy in changing society and the world.
