  • 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.

  • 최근(2008. 4. 14) 국가인권위원회의 종교계 대학들에 대한 권고 결정이 종교계 학교들의 채용관행에 대한 논쟁을 불러 일으켰다. 종교계 학교는 특정종교의 진리와 정신을 건학이념으로 설립된 학교이다. 비교법적으로 검토해 보면 학교 기타 교육기관이 전체 또는 중요한 부분에서 특정 종교 또는 종교 법인, 협회, 단체에 의해 소유, 지원, 통제 또는 관리되는 경우 또는 그러한 기관의 교과가 특정 종교의 전파를 목적으로 하는 경우에, 그러한 학교나 기타 교육기관 또는 교습 기관이 특정한 종교를 가진 피고용인을 고용 또는 채용하는 것이 허용되고 있다. 따라서 학교의 역사, 사명, 교직원과 학생들의 종교, 학생들의 종교활동, 그리고 커리큘럼에 대한 종교적 관점 등을 검토하여 종교계 학교로 판단되면 특정 종교인에 대한 채용의 자유를 부정하기 어렵다고 판단된다. 이 글은 종교계 학교의 교직원 채용 시 지원자가 특정 종교인일 것을 조건으로 하는 것이 우리 법제상 위법인가에 대하여 주로 노동법적 차원에서 비교법적으로 검토해 보았다.

  • A food life style itself is substrative relations with culture, and is concerned with our daily life. Especially a food taboo comes from the intelligence which resulted from an ancestor's life experience. Accordingly, we can say a food taboo began with human appearance, settled in convention of folklore society, and forms it's own boundary todays. Since a practice of a food taboo is combinded firmly with various sociological factors such as religion, custom, and so on, it is very hard to change, even though the belife of a food taboo is not true. According to the result, first, significant factors effecting on a practice of a food taboo was a level of age, a level of education, religion, family pattern, behavior of subject and her mother for food life management, education of subject and her mother, and religion of subject and her mother. Second, in analysis of factors according to classification of food taboo a practice of a food taboo which classified to food of animal, food of plant and the other food showed significant differences, comparing religion of subject with her mother. Third, a result examined practice frequency and review of science, non science indicated that foods such as Egg of Globefish, Lettuce, Coffee, Persimmon, dried Persimmon, Soybean and Sugar are tabooed on the basis of science, and foods such as Vinegary food, Thieved food, Soup of Tangle and Dogmeat tabooed on the basis of non science. But in the case of Puja, it's basis of science is not identified. These food taboos are tabooed by more then 50% of subjects including who answerd 'there is some case to practice it' Therefore, we should continue analysis of science for the reason of a food taboo, at the same time, provide the origin and try to have a rational food life.

  • 본 연구는 종교유무 및 종교활동 참여수준이 노인의 삶의 만족도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 확인하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 노동패널조사 20차 자료를 기반으로, 65세 이상 노인 3,261명을 대상으로 기술통계분석, 평균차이분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 종교의 유무는 노인의 삶의 만족도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 못했다. 둘째, 종교활동 참여수준은 노인의 삶의 만족도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 종교활동에 적극적으로 참여하는 노인일수록 삶의 만족도가 높았다. 셋째, 종교유형별로 보면, 기독교 노인이 불교 노인에 비해 삶의 만족도가 통계적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 함의를 도출하고 정책적 제언을 실시하였다.

  • 이 연구는 2014년 8월 프란치스코 교황의 한국 방문과 그에 대한 미디어의 반응을 '매개된 종교'가 사회 변화에 기여할 수 있는 담론적 잠재력을 드러내 준 사례로 규정하고, 교황 방한 기간 중 5개 중앙일간지 (<조선일보>, <동아일보>, <중앙일보>, <한겨레>, <경향신문>에 게재된 교황 관련 사설 및 칼럼을 분석했다. 교황 관련 기사들이 대체로 교황의 언행에 대하여 매우 긍정적인 평가를 하고 있음에 주목하여, '교황과 동일시한 가치'와 '반(反)교황과 동일시한 가치'의 이항대립을 찾아 유사한 가치들끼리 범주화 했고 그것이 갖는 정치적 함의를 한국 사회의 특수한 맥락 속에서 해석했다. 이를 통해 각 매체의 이념적 정향성에 따라 미세한 차이는 있었지만 교황을 매개한 언론은 대체로 한국 사회의 현실에 대한 평가와 이를 해결하고 극복할 방향에 대해서 일관적인 서사를 구성하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이 사례는 종교가 담론적 차원에서 사회 변화를 위해 대안적 가치 제공자로서의 역할을 담당해 주기를 바라는 세속 사회의 기대를 보여 주는 것으로 볼 수 있다.
