The Bible has been and still is one of the most influential books ever published. The English Bible has a great impact on English language, literature, and culture. Therefore, knowledge of the Bible is essential in learning English language, its literature, culture and tradition. Biblical allusions are found in great literature and the daily newspapers as well. Rock musicians, screenwriters, television producers, and advertisers use the Bible as a source. Politicians use the words and accounts of the Bible to frame their debates. The Bible has continued to be philosophically, ethically, religiously, and politically influential in Western, Eastern, now World cultures. Therefore, not to know it means not to understand a great portion of world culture. This study examines the influence of the first book of the Bible, Genesis, in English language, literature, and culture. Furthermore, this study suggests why we should incorporate the English Bible in English education.

본 연구에서는 예비 기독영어교사들이 전공봉사학습의 일환으로 서울 소재 두 교회의 주일학교 중학생들을 대상으로 개발한 영어성경학습 교재를 실제 교육상황에 적용해 본 후, 예비 영어교사들의 교재개발 과정에 대한 인식과 주일학교 교사들의 교재에 대한 인식이 어떠한지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구에는 영어성경학습 교재 개발 과정이 단계별로 기술되어 있다. 본 연구의 자료 분석을 위해 예비 영어교사들과 주일학교 교사들과의 심층 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 인터뷰 내용은 녹음하여 전사하였고 내용분석 방법을 통해 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 예비 영어교사들의 영어성경학습 교재 개발 경험을 통한 전공봉사학습이 전공 전문성 향상은 물론 교회를 돕는 보람과 만족감을 갖게 한 것으로 나타났다. 성경학습 교재 내에서 성경교육과 영어교육 목표 사이의 균형을 이루는 것은 예비 영어교사들과 교재를 사용해 본 주일학교 교사들 모두에게 어려운 점으로 드러났다. 마지막으로, 주일학교 교사들은 교재 내의 학습활동들의 연계가 자연스럽지 못한 점을 한계로 인식하였으나, 교재의 소재가 학생들의 실생활과 밀접하게 연관되어 있는 점은 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었다.

The opening period of Korea was the period of modernisation amidst the conflicts between conservative and progressive sections with penetration of Western powers after 1876. With the opening modernisation accompanied modernisation of education. Missionary schools established by protestant missionaries played a crucial role in educational modernisation in the period of opening. In this article, the process of educational modernisation and the ways in which the ideas of democracy and equality were taught in the earliest schools, Paejae, Ewha, Kyoungsin and Chungsin are analysed through the method of bibliographical investigation of the textbooks used by these schools. No textbook prior to 1900 was found and in general there were no textbooks such as we know today. Usually English reading material and the Bible were the main teaching materials. Teachers kept their own copies of hand-written texts which were translated versions of American textbook. Since the same teacher taught in a number of schools, they shared same curriculum. In the early period, English Bible was taught so that English and the Bible lessons were not separated but gradually history and geography were added. Teaching of Hangul, and Korean history were added to encourage the sense of national identity and patriotism. In the case of Chungsin, for biology class, pupils were sent to Che-jung-won to learn human physiology, chemistry and physics, which shows an emphasis on science education. Vocational education was carried out; in the case of Paejae, a printing workshop was set up enabling students to earn some money at the same time as learning. Also in Kyungsin, skills of woodwork and basket weaving were stressed. Ewha also held a bazaar of the work made in sewing classes. Establishment of missionary schools brought about a great contribution in modernising Korean society and the Christian spiritual education of these schools lay the foundation for building democracy in Korea.
