Abstract

This essay is a critical study of the three models of practical theology that emerged in the second half of the 20th century: the critical correlational model (Sherrill, Browning), the hermeneutical model (Groome, Gerkin), and the faith community formation model (Westerhoff, Campbell). This essay first explores the central ideas of practical theologians who adhere to each of the three models and focuses on Christian education, pastoral counseling, and homiletics. This essay then critically evaluates the three models in accordance to the following four themes: how practical theology has 1) responded to the challenges of postmodernity, 2) engaged in dialogue with different types of theology, 3) participated in interdisciplinary dialogue, and 4) understood Christian practice. In conclusion, this essay suggests that the essential tasks of contemporary Christian education as practical theology include: 1) providing an active response to many challenges of postmodern, postsecular, postdigital, and posthuman era, 2) engaging in interactive dialogue with diverse forms of theology, and 3) facilitating interdisciplinary dialogue based on transversal rationality, and 4) establishing of the concept of Christian practice at the individual, ecclesial, social, public, ecological, and digital levels.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 "비판적 상관관계신학 유형"(쉐릴, 힐트너, 브라우닝), "해석학적 유형"(그룸, 거킨), "신앙공동체적 형성 유형"(웨스터호프, 켐벨) 등과 같은 20세기 후반에 등장한 실천신학의 대표적인 세 가지 모델에 대한 비판적 고찰이다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 먼저, 각 유형별로 기독교교육학, 목회상담학, 그리고 설교학 분야에서 2-3명의 대표적 학자를 선별하여 중심 사상을 유형별 특징과 연관하여 논의하였다. 그리고 시대적 상황에 대한 응답, 신학과의 관계, 학제적 대화, 그리고 실천이라는 주제를 중심으로 각 유형들에 대한 비판적 평가를 시도하였다. 결론 및 제언 : 각 유형들에 대한 연구를 통하여 실천신학으로서 오늘의 기독교교육의 핵심 과제는 포스트 시대의 여러 도전에 대한 적극적 응답, 오늘의 다양한 신학과의 상호적 대화, 횡단적 합리성에 기초한 학제적 대화, 개인적, 교회적, 사회적, 공적, 생태적, 더 나아가 디지털 차원까지 포괄하는 기독교적 실천 개념의 정립 등임을 제안하였다.
