This paper analyzes the religious circuit of suicidal concept based on verbal expression and ritual acts, which are found in the suicide discourse of Korean Catholic Church and Protestant Church. In the relationship of suicide and religion, it is easily overlooked the religious circuit and its construction that forms the concept of suicide among the religious laymen. It is assumed that the belief system of traditional religions prohibits suicide and the laymen accordingly construct a perception or concept of suicide along with this belief system. Various studies on this subject have proved it. However, in order to understand the religious way of constructing the concept of suicide on a personal level, it is necessary to pay attention to the religious environment in which the concepts and emotions of suicide circulate. The laymen do not passively and perfectly accept the finely established suicide concept provided by the doctrine or the theology. Rather, the laymen tend to collect the pieces of concept over the suicide that are drifting in the religious environment of his/her daily routine life and to make an concept of suicide in an incomplete form. We can find the unstable and imperfect traits of such a suicide concept through the experience of suicide survivors who have a religious background. For the suicide survivors with religious beliefs, they resist the formal doctrinal and theological provisions to suicide, or try to understand the notion of suicide in their own contexts. In terms of linguistic expressions and ritual acts relating to suicide, the attentions are differently directed in the public and the private domain among the religious groups. Considering on the high rates of suicide in Korean society, the Korean Catholic Churches are increasingly tolerant over the suicide and accept it in the public sphere. It is unlikely when comparing to the negative attitudes of the suicide in the past. However, such tolerance does not go beyond the doctrinal and ethical judgment that defines suicide as a serious sin. The once-committed lay believer's speech and gestures usually contain the various emotions, such as sadness, grief, anxiety, regretfulness, eagerness, and pain in the private spheres. The language and gestures with these emotions have been activated in the religious circuits of suicide, being extended to the religious apparatus for the person who died of suicide. In case of Protestantism, the institutional organizations, such as the particular denominations and the individual-churchism of the Korean Protestant Churches, and their own interpretations of the Bible have in the private sphere strongly effected on the linguistic expressions and the rituals related to the suicide. The religious-ethical judgment of the suicide is varied how the suicide is interpreted by the theologians and the pastors. And the ritual acts for healing the complex feelings and the psychological wounds of the suicide survivors are not actively explored and adopted yet. It makes harder to approach and heal the protestant followers since they emphasize the innermost belief and the salvation assurance faith.

This study was conducted to identify factors affecting acculturation stress among Chinese students in Korea. 239 Chinese students in Korea were surveyed using a structured questionnaire from September 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015. The results were as follows. The subjects' acculturation stress was 3.29 out of 5. Their overall spiritual well-being was 3.10 out of 5, and their existential spiritual well-being and religious spiritual well-being were 3.67 and 2.54, respectively. On the other hand, demand for religious activities was 4.37 out of 6. Factors affecting acculturation stress among Chinese students in Korea were age, school year, period of stay in Korea, Korean language skill, demand for religion, and existential spiritual well-being, and their explanatory power was 36.1%. These findings suggest that religious activities need to include programs not only for guiding their lives of faith but also for improving their understanding of Korean culture and their Korean language skill and supporting their practical lives while studying in Korea.

Muslim의 수학은 천문학과 마찬가지로 종교적 필요성이 있었다. 기하학적 지식은 매일 예배하는 Mecca의 방향을 정하기 위한 것이었다면, 산술과 대수는 주로 제일을 계산하기 위해 필요했다. Muslim의 수학은 결국 종교적 욕구를 충족시키는데 끝없을 뿐 과학 일반에의 응용은 없었으나, 전 인류에게 그 지식을 보급시킴으로서 수학사상 중요한 위치를 차지한다. Muslim의 문화가 일어나는 시대는 10세기로 생각할 수 있으며, 특히 이 시기에 학술연구가 시작됐다. 11세기는 Muslim의 황금시기이며 실험과 이론의 두분야에서 눈부신 발달이 있었다. 12세기에는 퇴락의 과정을 밝으면서도 그 문화적 유산은 서구세계에 넘겼다. 본 눈문에서는 산술, 대수, 삼각법을 중심으로 이들 학문의 형성과정과 지식의 전달과정을 살핀다.

1950년대까지 DDC는 전체 분류표 가운데 10분의 1이 종교였고 종교가운데에서도 기독교가 10분의 9를 차지하였다. 더욱이 DDC 편집자들은 과학기술발전에 보조를 맞추지 못했고 이러한 태만으로 하여 이들 과학기술 분야을 국제십진분류법에 넘겨주게 되었다. (이 국제십진분류법에서는 과학기술분야가 전체의 4/5를 차지하는데 반하여 DDC는 겨우 2/10를 차지한다.) DDC가 미국 이외의 국가, 종교, 실습, 언어에 이용되는 것을 Dewey 자신이나 그의 초기계승자들이 추구한 것은 아니다.

보이는 하늘이야 같았겠지만, 문화적인 배경이 다른 민족이나 국가, 그리고 종교가 각기 다른 방식으로 우주를 이해해 왔을 것이다. 이들이 구체화되어서 설화나 신화 또는 종교의 우주관을 형성하는 과정이 달랐으리라는 것도 쉽게 상상할 수 있을것이다. 이글에서는 현대우주론이 형성 되는 과정을 서양 우주론의 관점에서 살펴보고 현대표준우주론인 대폭발 우주론에 대해서도 알아보기로 한다.
