1910년대 한국 기독교인의 평화에 대한 인식과 실천: 대부흥운동과 3.1운동을 중심으로

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study is to prove that the nonviolent peace spirit of the 3.1 Movement originated from the Great Revival Movement. For this purpose, the first data and previous research results of domestic and foreign journals, newspaper articles, letters, reports, and interrogation papers were analyzed, focusing on Christian national activists and Christian leaders from the Great Revival Movement to the 3.1 Movement.<BR> Christians before the Great Revival Movement did not clearly establish the concept of Christian peace and absorbed the ideological tradition of the existing national movement as it was, showing contradictory aspects that affirmed the armed resistance against Japanese imperialism while being Christian. However, the perception of ‘Christian Peace’ formed among Korean church members through the Great revival movement gave the national movement a philanthropic identity. It also became the ideological basis for the creation of the methodology of the 3.1 Movement called the “nonviolent movement”.<BR> The findings of this study are as follows: First, the characteristic non-violence of the 3.1 Movement is closely related to the re-perception of violence through religious awakening during the Great Revival Movement. Second, the 3.1 Movement was developed as a peaceful way to prioritize the value of human dignity through a universal sense of community for humans created by God. Third, the awakening of Christian women’s ideas of human equality and the non-resistance to imperial and masculine violence of Japan greatly affected the peaceful characteristics of the 3.1 Movement.
