Therefore, in the main body, the two doctrines of Justification by Faith only and the Priesthood of All Believers were based on the Luther's Reformation were examined. A researcher confirmed that his Reformational characteristics concerned about second-class citizens and disadvantaged such as the weak faith, women, and the social situations were considered all the time in his Reformation.

The Reformation seems to have nothing to do with modern philosophy, but in reality closely related to it. From a philosophical point of view, the Reformation had a profound effect on the formation of modern philosophy in two respects. Voluntarism, asserting the predominance of divine will over divine reason, which is the basic principle of the Reformation, allowed an arbitrary interpretation of the Bible by ignoring the tradition of the Church and emphasizing 'Sola Fide'. As a result, the severe religious disputes arose and the modern intellectuals sought a deism and natural religion as an universal religion which is expected to put an end to religious conflicts. Moreover, voluntarism changed the way of inquiring nature from the speculative to the experimental based on observation and experiment, and provided the clues of the birth of experimental philosophy (empiricism) which is the experimental inquiry of human nature. In short, the Reformation brings about the search for universal religion on the one hand, but on the other the advent of experimental philosophy. Universal religion is not a mystic religion on which the religious behaviors and practices are based but just a world view that is the basis for scientific inquiry, and it was nothing but a philosophy for science. And also the experimental philosophy was a philosophy by science in that it is a science of human nature through experiment and observation, After all, the Reformation expelled religion from the main living room of philosophy and placed science on the spot instead.

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of the Reformation Calvin undertook in Geneva and see what efficient functions Christianity can afford to reveal its value in urban settings today. Calvin's Reformation provided a clear place and role for the Church in the public domain. In addition, Calvin's process of religious reform has always been followed by interest and welfare practices for the socially disadvantaged, such as the poor and women. In this understanding, the study presented the following applications that modern churches can practice in urban settings today: First, the church should be able to clearly understand the diversity, liquidity, and dynamics of the urban environment and make changes through various situational applications supported by the Bible. Second, the church's missional approach should shift from a believing-belonging process to a sense of belonging-believing. Third, the transition from a familiar traditional church to a new social reality is necessary, and efforts are needed to clearly understand the interests and atmosphere of community communities and keep pace with them. And finally, modern churches need to maintain new ecological sensitivity than ever before.

The purpose of this study was to see the characteristics of oral media, which is orality and literacy combined, in order to analyze its effect on the age of Reformation and today, and to draw applicable points on the present Christian mission. The electronic age is an age of secondary orality, the orality of telephones, radio, and television, which depends on writing and print for its existence. Historically, it is a well-known fact that the shift from orality to literacy and on to electronic processing has engaged in social, economic, political, religious and other structures. With this perspective, the study was divided into two parts. In the first part, researchers dealt with the characteristics of primary oral culture, examined how it combined with media literacy and became oral media, and witnessed how reformers in the sixteenth century utilized it timely along with what the ending result was. In the second part, researcher observed the characteristics of electronic media based on literacy and orality, and presented several applicable points to the present state of the Christianity.

문명이 발전함에 따라 인류는 자연을 이용하는 방법을 깨우치기 시작했다. 그래서 인류가 시작한 최초의 자연과학을 지질학이라고 할 수 있다. 고대 그리스의 학자 헤로도투스, 스트라보 등이 지질학의 출시를 이루고 있으며 종교개혁 이후 레오나르도 다빈치가 등장했으나 종교적 박해로 그의 주장을 올바르게 펴지 못했다. 17세기 아일랜드 대주교 어셔와 덴마크 출신 의사 스테노 등이 암석 등 지구의 생성과정을 본격 연구했고 18세기 들어 스코틀랜드의 허튼이 관찰한 풍화와 침식의 과정이 발표됨으로써 현대 지질학이 탄생된 것이다.

This study aims to classify broadscale anti-religious movements in Korea based on critical public sentiment and analyze the meanings of these movements. To carry out the research, global religious changes that have occurred in modern times were closely looked into first. The world religions have had an influence on the world's religious awareness. As a result, they intend to acquire universality on their own individual grounds while keeping consistency with the past. This phenomenon used to appear to retain the identity, recreate tradition, transform itself to fit in the present times, pursue innovation, or even become overshadowed by other forms of thought such as when religions have collided with nationalism. How does Korean society perceive the changes that emerged in world religions? In general, the circumstances that Korea faces in this era tend to manifest themselves via the Internet, multimedia, and Youtube wherein they sound off on religion and this includes criticism of Christianity, demand for reformation, attack on minor religions, pro-reform academic circles and media, and the propagation of anti-theism. Criticism of religion is interpreted as an anti-religious movement. The secularism and anti-theism brought up by some Western scholars and critical theories of religion from scientific or historical perspectives are being spread through bookstores. Christianity is prone to reflecting on itself and trying to emphasizing a meta-religious spirituality. This in short, characterizes anti-religious movements in Korea. Indeed, criticism against particular religions has also emerged in the past. However, anti-religious movements that have recently come into existence in Korea are in some regards unprecedented when compared to that of the past in terms of their patterns and context. Especially, the active anti-Christianity movement in general is definitely a new phenomenon. This research mainly focused on Christianity, but on-going anti-religious movements will be a major topic for further research that aims to understand the religious changes unfolding in Korea.

본 연구는 구술성과 문자성이 결합한 형태로 나타나는 구어적 매체의 특징을 이해하고 특별히 그것이 16세기 종교개혁 시기에 어떠한 영향을 끼쳤는지를 살펴보면서 오늘날 현대 교육에 효과적인 적용할 부분은 없는지 그 가능성을 확인해 보고자 한다.
