The objective of this study was to determine the status of current chapel courses and analyze the necessity of online chapel courses. Students' interest, failure experience, perceived problems, and advantages of current chapel courses were examined. Students' preference, intention of sincerity, and perceived effectiveness of online chapel courses were also determined. Finally, hypothesis tests for the differences of students' interest, failure experience, perceived problems and advantages of current chapel courses, preference, intention of sincerity, and perceived effectiveness of online chapel courses according to gender, school year grade, major of study, and religion were performed. Students' low interest in chapel courses was verified. Even Christian students' interest was below 3 points out of 5-point Likert scale. However, students whose religion was not Christianity felt more coercion and had less interest in chapel courses. They wanted virtualization of chapel courses more. They had more willingness to faithful participation in online chapel courses. This research suggests that virtualization of chapel courses as a solution to chapel resistance is dependent on student's characteristics such as religion, major field of study, and mindset.

한국에서 공공성 개념은 종교와 다른 사회 영역 간 매개물이 되고 있다. 이런 상황은 종교와 연관된 공공성 개념과 의제에 대한 논의를 요청한다. 이 글에서는 공공성과 신앙을 연결시킨 논의들과 살펴보면서 의제들을 추출하고, 시사점을 모색하는 차원에서 공공성 개념과 관련된 성물 사례들과 천주교 성지화 사례를 분석하였다. 구체적으로, 제II장(공공성과 신앙)에 따르면, 종교의 공공성에 관심을 가진 기독교 신학자들과 사회학자들은 대체로 신앙을 통한 사회 참여와 변화를 전제하거나 지향한다. 이 맥락에서는 기독교 이외 종교의 공공성에 대한 근거, 공적 영역에서 종교간 평등, 공론장에서 종교단체의 위상과 종교 연구자들의 참여 등이 종교 공공성 담론의 의제가 될 수 있다. 제III장(성물과 공공성)에서는 종교 공공성을 '종교 안 공공성'과 '종교 밖 공공성'으로 구분하였다. 그 구분에 따르면, 천주교와 불교의 성물 사례들은 의례가 종교 안 공공성을 확보하는 핵심 요인임을 보여준다. 그리고 불교의 진신사리 논쟁 사례는 종교 밖 공공성이 본래적인 것이 아니라 여러 외부적 논쟁 속에서 구성되는 것이라는 점을 보여준다. 제IV장(성지화와 공공성)에서는 종교 밖 공공성과 연관하여 천주교 성지화 사례들과 그에 대한 다른 종교들의 반대 논리를 분석하였다. 성지화 사례들은 천주교 내부에서 종교 안 공공성을 창출하지만, 여러 종교가 얽힌 공론장에서 종교 밖 공공성에 대한 평가와 논쟁을 유발한다. 실제로 성지화에 반대하는 측은 '천주교가 다른 종교의 유산과 가치 등을 없앤다는 논리'를 공공성의 약화나 종교편향을 유발한다는 논리로 확장해서 대응하고 있다. 이 글은 종교 공공성 개념이 종교에 관한 논의를 다양화하는 매개물이라는 점을 보여준다. 그리고 이 글에서 제시한 종교 공공성과 관련된 의제들, 구성론, 종교 안 공공성과 종교 밖 공공성의 구분 등은 공공성 이면의 배려, 평등, 자유 등의 가치에 주목하게 만든다.

The sacrificial rite has its origin in the old China's primitive folkways faith based upon animism (B.C. 25c). From the animistic faith, Confucianism made its appearance in B.C. 551. Inevitably, the procedure of Confucian sacrificial rite was developed on the basis of the preceding primitive faith. In Korean culture, the god of Chinese Confucianism introduced to Korea in A.D. 108 was mixed properly with that of Buddhism imported in A.D. 372. Traditionally, Korean primitive religion (from B.C. 10c to B.C. 2c) was the sacrificial rite practiced by 'shaman.' The 'shaman' who was able to utilize ecstasy for the good of community was gods itself, and naturally the main form of the sacrificial rite was an exorcism with a sacrificial offering (food). After Korean primitive religion had been grafted to Buddhism and Confucianism, the character of Korean culture had to become compound. The most essential conception in sacrificial rite is a discrimination of a ghost, one is the evil spirit and the other is the good spirit. According to this conception, the good spirit is a spirit which ascended to heaven, in contrast, the evil spirit is a one which did not ascend to heaven and dispersed into this world. The sacrificial rite is a method to help the evil spirit ascend to heaven or to prevent harms from it. The mode of sacrificial rite especially the dead ancestor worship was transmitted from generation to generation as a purpose of the wealth and honors of descendants. Descendants believed that the evil spirit would not harm them only after receiving sufficient food and the right sacrifice. As a result, the sacrificial rite food was the sign of filial piety and a compensation for the evil spirit. How did the Korean religious culture which was consisted of three different religions-Shamanism, Buddhism. Confucianism-be combined and transformed? The author focused the mixture and transformation of the procedure of sacrificial rite and the arrangement of sacrificial food in each religion. In this thesis, the author studied first, the conception in sacrificial rite, second, the items of sacrificial rite food according to each period. In consequence of the research, each religion had lost its uniqueness and became mixed to each other and settle down in Korean culture.

종교는 인간을 궁극적인 삶의 조건과 관련시키는 일련의 상징적인 형식과 행위이다. 종교사상은 상징을 통해 세상을 이해하고 또 상징을 통해 행위를 유발한다. 본 연구는 종교가 복식에 미치는 영향과 그 메커니즘을 규명하는데 목적을 두고 문헌을 중심으로 연구를 하였다. 세계 고등 종교 중 불교, 힌두교, 이슬람교를 중심으로 연구하였으며, 종교의 여러 구성요소가 의례로 표현되고, 복식으로 표출되는 메커니즘을 연구하며, 그러한 일련의 과정을 도식화하여 제시하는 것에 목표가 있다. 믿음체계, 경험, 공동체, 의례 등 종교의 구성요들은 긴밀한 상호 연관성을 갖는다. 특히 의례는 종교적 의미를 표현하는 상징적 행위이자 실천이며, 구원의 방편이다. 모방의례, 긍정적 혹은 부정적 의례, 희생의례, 통과의례 등의 종교적 의례들은 제사와 같은 종교 예식은 물론, 종교음악이나 복식, 건축, 미술 등의 조형예술로 표현되어 왔다. 종교는 삶의 의미를 밝혀 주고, 불안이나 갈등과 같은 문제의 해결책을 제시해 주는 신앙체제로서 복식을 포함한 문화 전반에 큰 영향력을 끼쳐 오고 있다.

Caodaism is a new religion from Vietnam which began in late 1925 and spread rapidly across the French colony of Indochina. With a broad syncretic aim, the new faith sought to revivify Vietnamese religious traditions whilst also incorporating religious, literary, and spiritist influences from France. Like Catholicism, Caodaism kept a strong focus on its monotheistic nature and today Caodaists are eager to label their religion a monotheism. It will be argued here, however, that the syncretic nature of this new faith complicates this claim to a significant degree. To make this argument, we will consider here the nature of God in Caodaism through two central texts from two important stages in the life of the religion. The first is the canonized Compilation of Divine Messages which collects a range of spirit messages from God and some other divine voices. These were received in the early years of the faith. The second is a collection of sermons from 1948/9 that takes Caodaist believers on a tour of heaven, and which is entitled The Divine Path to Eternal Life. It will be shown that in the first text, God speaks in the mode of a fully omnipotent and omniscient supreme being. In the second text, however, we are given a view of paradise that is much more akin to the court of a Jade Emperor within an East Asian milieu. In these realms, the personalities of other beings and redemptive mechanisms claim much of our attention, and seem to be a competing center of power to that of God. Furthermore, God's consort, the Divine Mother, takes on a range of sacred creative prerogatives that do something similar. Additionally, cadres of celestial administrators; buddhas, immortals, and saints help with the operation of a cosmos which spins on with guidance from its own laws. These laws form sacred mechanisms, such as cycles of reincarnation and judgement. These operate not in the purview of God, but as part of the very nature of the cosmos itself. In this context, the dualistic, polytheistic, and even automatic nature of Caodaism's cosmos will be considered in terms of the way in which they complicate this religion's monotheistic claims. To conclude, this article seeks to demonstrate the precise relevance of the term 'monotheism' for this religion.
