Abstract

The purpose of this study is to restore religious education at home. Currently, Korean church education is facing a crisis. First, there is a decrease in the number of children in the church due to the problem of the low fertility rate. Second, the number of young people leaving the church is increasing. As a result, Maneun Church and church schools are being reduced or closed. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to change from church school-centered education to family-centered faith education. This is because the restoration of faith education is also connected with the restoration of the Korean church in crisis. As an alternative to overcome the current crisis of church education, it is necessary to return to the original form of religious education. In other words, we must return to the way God commanded religious education through parents at home. The most important thing is to overcome and recover from the absence of religious education at home. A Christian home becomes a place of education that fulfills the primary responsibility of religious education for children. God has given his parents the primary authority and responsibility for the religious education of their children. However, amid changes in society and home, the educational function of the home was entrusted to other educational institutions or specialized teachers. Parents of Christian families tend to delegate their children's religious education to church schools by neglecting their educational authority and responsibility. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to reinforce that parents should have a Christian view of faith education and become the main agents of their children's faith education. Parents have the authority, responsibility, and duty as teachers for religious education given by God. The educational authority and responsibility of parents originate from God. God has commanded his parents to bring up their children in faith. Therefore, for parents to become the main agents of their children's religious education, restoration is needed in Christian home education. Therefore, the task of restoring the Christian family as a place of effective Christian education and fulfilling the educational mission of faith that God has given to parents is, first, that parents and the church must recognize the importance of Christian home education anew. Second, parents must have the correct awareness and mission in the Christian view of children. The mission of parents in a Christian home is to teach, train, and admonish their children in the Lord so that they can live with Christian values. Third, the church should actively support home education and form a deep bond between church education and home education.

이 연구는 가정에서의 신앙교육을 회복하기 위한 목적이다. 현재 한국교회 교육은 위기를 맞고 있다. 첫째, 저출산의 문제로 인한 어린이 교인감소이다. 둘째는 교회를 떠나가는 청소년들로 인감 감소이다. 이로 인하여 만은 교회가 교회학교가 축소되거나 폐쇄되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 교회학교 중심의 교육에서 가정중심의 신앙교육으로 전환이 필요하다. 신앙교육의 회복은 위기를 맞은 한국교회의 회복과도 연결되어 있기 때문이다. 현재 직면한 교회교육의 위기를 극복하기 위한 대안으로 신앙교육의 본래의 원형로 환원을 해야 한다는 것이다. 즉, 하나님께서 가정에서 부모를 통한 신앙교육을 명령하신 모습으로 돌아가야 한다. 무엇보다 중요한 것은, 가정에서 신앙교육의 부재를 극복하고, 회복하는 것이다. 기독교 가정은 자녀 신앙교육의 일차적 책임을 수행하는 교육의 장이 된다. 하나님은 부모들에게 자녀의 신앙교육의 우선적인 권한과 책임을 부여하셨다. 그러나 사회와 가정의 변화 속에서 가정의 교육적 기능이 다른 교육기관이나 전문교사에게 위탁되었다. 기독교 가정의 부모들은 교육적 권한과 책임을 등한시함으로써 자녀의 신앙교육을 교회학교에 위임하는 경향이 있다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 부모는 기독교적인 신앙교육관을 가지고 자녀의 신앙교육 주체가 되어야 한다. 부모는 하나님으로부터 부여받은 신앙교육을 위한 교사로서 권한과 책임 그리고 의무를 갖는다. 부모의 교육적 권한과 책임은 하나님으로부터 기인한다. 하나님은 부모들에게 자녀를 신앙으로 양육하라고 명령하셨다. 따라서 부모를 자녀 신앙교육의 주체가 되는 것은 기독교 가정교육을 회복시키는 것이다.
