1920년대 초 강두송(姜斗松) 목사의 여성인권 신장에 관한 담론 분석 : 그의 “婦人問題”(1922)를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper aims to study Rev. Du-Song Kang’s discourses on the extension of women’s rights in the early 1920s and its present implications and lessons in his “Women’s Issue”. This text is based on 1Corinthians 11:2-16. Kang’s “Women’s Issue” was published in Jonggyogyeoi Jemyeongsa Gangyeonjip(1922) during Japanese ruling era of Korea. The prominent points of Du-Song Kang’s biblical views of women’s rights and its present implications in his “Women’s Issue” could be summarized as follows: First, I treated with Kang’s private analysis on 1Corinthians 11:2-16. On the basis of this text, he suggests equal rights and character between male and female, the apostle Paul’s strict disciplinary action to Corinthian female believers, and respect for the custom of the time and moderate reforms. Second, I attempted to study Kang’s discourses on the differential treatment between husband and wife at home, the abolition of severe fence of house(οἶκος), equal opportunity for education, anti-decadence drive, and so forth. Third, I concentrated on practical paradigms for God’s creation order and intrinsic identity of married couple, the vigilance against the theory of women’s superiority, and so on. In light of Rev. Du-Song Kang’s significant traces and contributions, I suggest future extensions of this discourse into his other various themes such as his life and ministry, view of ministry, spirituality and leadership, view of woman, revival movement, and other related areas.
