선교적 교회론의 성경적 근거 ―크리스토퍼 라이트의 선교적 해석학을 중심으로

Abstract

Korean church nowadays is facing same situation as Missional Church appeared in the West. Korean church is corrupted inside and brought the disability and loss of trust externally due to loss of the essence of faith and lack of the suitability to the society. The fact that Korean church is confronting the worst crisis in Korean history urges us to bring appropriate solutions to recover the fundamental worth and to communicate with altered Korean society effectively. As we are to recover the identity and the suitability and to solve internal and external problems in the church, neither the present church paradigm nor the program and the pastoral methodology is the key. Korean church reached at its prime with the programs and pastoral methodology and now these are bringing the dark age upon Korean church which is darker than ever. Therefore, it is the time for Korean church to be changed in every direction. The Missional Church was resulted in developing the main theme of mission that took the half of the century in western church. It does not mean to recover Christendom and to find better principle and method to pursuit church growth but it is the movement–which started with church movement and mission recovering movement–that examines the situation that church is in seriously and studies it academically. GOCN(Gospel and Our Culture Network) has been working on Missional Church movement in the area of Missional Hermeneutic recently. Since Mission comes from the nature of God, the whole Bible should be dealt with Mission but not some specific verses. Therefore, this essay will focus on introducing Missional Hermeneutic Christopher Wright provide. This research will give an opportunity to illuminate the characteristic of Missional Church–the ethical perspective of Mission.The relationship between Mission and ethics is very close. The author insists that ethicality is the sign to distinguish the church from the secular world and it forms Mission. Ethics itself forms Mission in Missional Church as church exists as the light and the salt to the local society. Without biblical ethics, there is no biblical mission. This essay will prospect the Bible in Missional Hermeneutic and show the relationship between ethics and the aspect of election, redemption and covenant in the Israelite and church respectively. Biblical Mission needs biblical ethics. Moreover, ethics itself forms mission. Missional Church provides biblical basis for Missional Hermeneutic. Since Bible gives the right answer to the nature and the method of missional obedience, Word is the basis for church mission. The steps toward Missional Church should show the effort to examine the systems of every church throughly and biblically to be rooted and worked in serious relationship with God’s word. Missional Church movement should provide biblical basis on the nature of gospel and the essence, ministry and structure of church, In such need of these facts, this essay will provide examples to illuminate the biblical basis about Missional Church with the eyes of Missional Hermeneutic.
