This study offers an analysis of how Protestant Christianity in South Korea incorporated many beliefs and practices of Korean traditional religions in order to make the new faith more appealing to the masses. The paper also examines the way in which specific Protestant doctrines and practices were modified or accentuated to suit the disposition of the Korean people. In agreement with Confucianism, for example, Protestant churches in general emphasized the values of diligence, self-cultivation, righteous living, and, most importantly, filial piety. By overtly and subtly permitting ancestral rites to be conducted by Christians, moreover, Protestant Christianity evaded successfully the potential alienation of the tradition-bound Koreans. From Buddhism, Protestant Christianity syncretized such elements as the daily dawn prayer and all-night prayer as well as the practices of baekilgido ("a hundred-day prayer") and chunilgido ("a thousand-day prayer"). Hundreds of prayer centers that exist deep in the mountains also manifest a Buddhist influence. Shamanistic influences are also evident in Korean Protestantism, replete with the latter's emphasis on this-worldly success (health, prosperity, long life, etc.), faith healing, and conceptualization of God as being merciful and generous. What all of this reveals is that Christian conversion in South Korea did not involve an exclusivistic change of religious affiliation, meaning that it did not require the repudiation of traditionally held beliefs. Instead, millions of South Koreans eagerly embraced Protestant Christianity precisely because the new faith was advanced as an extension or continuation of traditional religious practices.

This paper studies the recent surge in the number of faith-based films in Hollywood, with the aim to explore the context and implications of this new trend. By using the theoretical framework of the study of the Tilich and Van der Leeuw, who have explored the relationship between religion, culture and art, this article discusses the meaning of the spiritual theme in the film. A couple of common points can be found among the faith-based films that have been produced since the 2010s. While these films attempt a universal approach to the fundamental theme of spirituality through popular narratives familiar to the audience, they also stress 'historical truthfulness and credibility' by representing the reality, such as a featuring real person or a true story in the film. The main characters are depicted as "victorious losers" that are distinguished from the typical Hollywood superhero and the films repeatedly show the human being constantly 'asking' questions to God. By analyzing these characteristics, the paper demonstrates that recent Hollywood faith-based films have successfully differentiated themselves from existing religious films while symbolizing the universal beliefs and values beyond the religious message so as to attract more audiences to this field. The paper also suggests that despite the advances in modern science and knowledge, the public will always yearn for a spiritual recovery and salvation through the film medium, serving as a potential source that provides an outlet for spiritual experience.

나라마다 모양과 형태는 다르지만 부적(부작)이 있다. 이 부적은 종교를 떠나 지금은 재미, 장식 등으로도 활용되고 있으며, 심지어 컴퓨터와 휴대전화에도 부적이 자리를 잡고 있다. 그리고 부적의 생활화에는 인쇄라는 매체가 있었기에 가능할 수 있었다. 이에 본지에서는 인쇄가 부적에 어떤 영향을 미치고 어떻게 활용되고 있는가를 알아보았다.

90년대 들어 사회학의 연구주제는 대중매체, 영화나 오락, 일상생활, 성 등 다양한 형태의 사회현상들에 주목하고 있다. 일상성의 문제는 한국사회를 이해하기 위해 범죄나 종교생활 등의 문제에도 접근이 필요하다. 세계화.정보화와 관련한 체계적인 연구도 활발해질 것으로 보인다.

上古时代原始性的巫术信仰和政治有着不可分割的关系, 可以说原始宗教信仰和巫术信仰的性质有一脉相通的方面, 上古时代原始性的巫术信仰和妇女有着不可分割的关系, 所以在后代妇女们的宗教活动中也起着极大的影响, 不过巫师的作用和与宗教性相关联的巫儿相比, 其由神格化人物被升华到具有以强大威力降神或管理超自然, 给人间降祸福等非凡的超能力。并且, 具有巫师资格和非凡能力的主观条件是作为代替神和上帝及鬼神相同的象征性人物要有超越一般人的灵验能力。虽然尚不能明确巫师的起源从何时开始, 但其存在是不可否认的事实。并且由巫师的职责带有和宗教直接性的关联这点来看不仅和"巫儿之俗"不是没关系, 而且可以判断为这点由某种关联性变迁而来的。另外特别认为这种和政治社会无法分割的关系决不是一种偶然。它是从上古时代没有消失, 不断流.

The incarnation of Jesus and Jeungsan's descending to earth as a human being are important theological theories in their respective religions, Christianity and Daesoon Jinrihoe. Both theories are the doctrinal devices necessary for the religious description of each religion. However, this kind of study is likely to result in a theological study that generates religious apologia or explanations. Therefore, it is impossible and meaningless to define the theory of another religion as meta-discourse in terms of one's own religious viewpoint. From a traditional theological point of view, the incarnation is an exceptionalist case wherein God descended as a human being named Jesus to save humanity from original sin. In the case of Jeungsan's descending to earth as a human being, its religious features appear in various forms, so the attempt to unify these two is not an objective method of religious studies. However, this paper aims to find the religious significance of Jesus' incarnation and Jeungsan's descending to earth as a human being by understanding them from a third-person terminology or third-person religious viewpoint rather than from a specific theological position. To this end, this paper will use Kim Jong-seo's position that the concept of Jeungsan's descending to earth as a human being was borrowed from the concept of the incarnation of Jesus as the premise of the research generated in this paper. Therefore, this paper avoids the quest for "Total Christ" or "Total Jeungsan" that integrates and views the divine and human elements of Jesus and Jeungsan. This is because such a research method becomes a theological study. Instead, it excludes transcendental elements or metaphysical aspects that discuss the divine pre-existences of Jesus and Jeungsan and clarifies the significance of the incarnation and Jeungsan's descending to earth as a human being at the physical level in terms which are objective and verifiable. According to this research methodology, this paper develops a discussion after presupposing the hypothetical names of "incarnationist religion" and "divine descent in human avatar religion." However, the two presuppositions mentioned above contain elements of criticism that they are materialistic interpretations that completely eliminate connotations of divinity and religious significance. Nevertheless, it can be said that the two presuppositions have academic significance due to the way in which they avoid the current entanglement of transcendence and instead aim for modernistic relevance.
