Hearing the Living Word of God today? : a systematic-theological investigation into the authority and interpretation of scripture for contemporary Korean PresbyterianismYoon, Hyung-Chul 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die krisis rakende Skrifgesag vra ‘n dringende sistematies-teologiese ondersoek om ‘n
weg vanuit dié krisis aan te dui deur ‘n oortuigender, meer verstaanbare en belowende
benadering te bied om opnuut die sinvolheid, waaragtigheid, toepaslikheid en gesag van
die Skrif vir ons geloof en lewe te bevestig. Die oorkoepelende oogmerk van hierdie
verhandeling is dus om ‘n meer toepaslike sistematies-teologiese raamwerk te vind om
oor die gesag en interpretasie van die Skrif te kan praat. Ten einde hierdie doel te bereik,
maak die verhandeling gebruik van drie hoof benaderings – epistemologies, dogmaties
en hermeneuties – in ‘n dinamies geïntegreerde, onderling afhanklike, en holistiese
wyse.
Om die epistemologiese status van die Skrif as God se waarheid te bevestig, het ons ‘n
meer genuanseerde epistemologiese model nodig waardeur die uiterstes van sowel
moderne dogmatiese funderingsdenke asook van postmoderne nie-funderingsdenke
vermy kan word. As alternatiewe model sal ’n vorm van post-funderingsdenke as
benadering hier ontwikkel word, te einde die valse verdelings tussen objektief en
subjektief, ontologies en funksioneel, en epistomologies en hermeneuties te oorkom.
Ons kan dus die objektiewe eenheid van die waarheid en gesag van die Skrif as
beslissende weg na die realiteit van God bevestig, sonder om ons bewussyn van die
voorlopige, kontekstuele en feilbare aard van menslike kennis te ontken.
‘n Dogmaties-ontologiese verantwoording van die Skrif plaas ons spreke oor Skrifgesag
binne die konteks van die drie-enige God se ekonomie van verlossing. Vanuit ‘n
trinitaries-pneumatologiese oogpunt word die gesag van die Skrif afgelei vanuit die
drie-enige God se self-kommunikatiewe spraak-akte, sodat dit beskryf kan word as
goddelike kommunikatief-performatiewe gesag binne die drie-enige God se
verlossingsdrama. Die Skrifte kan gesien word as die teo-dramatiese teks wat ons binne
die verbondslewe met God bring en ons deur die dinamiese, dienende en vormende
werk van God se Gees oproep om aan die grootse drama van God se verlossing deel te
neem. Hermeneutiese oorwegings en nadenke moet as ‘n wesenlike en kritiese deel van ons
totale gesprek oor Skrifgesag ter sprake kom. Hermeneutiek help ons om hermeneutiese
afgode bloot te lê en om die werklike teenwoordigheid van God in ons lees van die
Skrifte te onderskei. Dit fasiliteer voorts ons beliggaming van bybelse tekste in die
spesifieke en tydelike kontekste van die lewe. Dit stel ons bowenal in staat om realiteite
van andersheid te herken en om na (‘n) ander stem(me) te luister. In die lig van hierdie
drievoudige hermeneutiese taak, kan ons die gesag van die Skrif as die viva vox Dei,
wat tot ons spreek in ons hier-en-nou lewe, herwin, terugeis en bekragtig. Ons herken
dus opnuut die gesag van die Skrif as goddelik kommunikatief-performatief,
verbondsmatig, dinamies-transformerend, lewens-deelnemend en veelvormig. Deur die
Skrif te lees, daaroor te mediteer, dit te geniet en uit te leef, ervaar ons die drie-enige
God se intieme teenwoordigheid, en aanbid en verheerlik ons God met eerbied en
vreugde. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the face of the crisis of scriptural authority, an urgent systematic-theological task is to
chart the way beyond that crisis by providing a more convincing, comprehensible, and
promising way to reaffirm the significance, truthfulness, relevance, and authority of
Scripture in our beliefs and lives. The overarching aim of this dissertation is thus to
search for a more appropriate systematic-theological framework for talk of the authority
and interpretation of Scripture. To this end, this dissertation engages with three key
dimensions — epistemological, doctrinal, and hermeneutical — in a dynamically
integrated, mutually dependent, and holistic way.
To affirm the epistemological status of Scripture as God’s truth, we need a more
nuanced epistemological model by which to avoid the extremity of the modern
dogmatic foundationalism and the postmodern relativist nonfoundationalism. A
postfoundationalist approach as an alternative model would provide the way to
overcome the false dichotomy between objective and subjective, ontological and
functional, and epistemology and hermeneutics. Without losing the awareness of the
provisionality, contextuality, and fallibility of all human knowledge, thus we can affirm
the objective unity of truth and the authority of Scripture as the ultimate way to the
reality of God.
A dogmatic-ontological account of Scripture brings our talk of scriptural authority
within the context of the triune God’s economy of salvation. From a trinitarianpneumatological
viewpoint, the authority of Scripture is derived above all from the
triune God’s self-communicative speech-act and hence it can be described as the divine
communicative-performative authority in the triune God’s drama of redemption.
Scripture can be thought of as the theo-dramatic script, which brings us into the
covenantal life with God and calls us to participate in the grand drama of God’s
salvation, by the dynamic, ministerial, and formative work of God the Spirit. The hermeneutical concerns and reflections must be brought, as a constitutive and
critical part, into our whole talk of scriptural authority. Hermeneutics helps us to expose
the hermeneutical idols and to discern the real presence of God in our reading of
Scripture. It also facilitates our embodiment of biblical texts in the particular, temporal
context of life. Most of all, it enables us to recognise the realities of otherness and to
listen to other voice(s). In light of this threefold hermeneutical task, we can retrieve,
reclaim, and reaffirm the authority of Scripture as the viva vox Dei speaking to us in our
here-and-now life. We thus recognise anew the authority of Scripture as divine
communicative-performative, covenantal, dynamic-transformative, life-engaged, and
multifaceted. By reading, mediating, enjoying, and living Scripture, we experience the
triune God’s intimate presence, and worship and glorify God with reverence and
enjoyment.

The interplay between shame and religious pathology in Korean culture : a pastoral and anthropological assessment within the Korean Presbyterian ChurchJung, Yeun Chul 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The difficulties attending our understanding of the experience of shame are widely
recognized. This work is concerned with the interplay between the experience of shame and
religious pathology in Korean culture, especially regarding theological anthropology.
Religious pathology implies the sick or distorted faith when people’s belief system or
contents, particularly inappropriate God-images and negative self-identity, becomes
negatively influenced due to painful experiences of shame. It was hypothesis that the
phenomenon of shame in Korean culture needs to be understood in terms of multidimensional
perspectives including psychological, sociological, socio-cultural and a theological
perspective as well. It was argued that parishioners’ biased understanding of, and response to
the experience of shame, is associated with inappropriate God-images and negative selfidentity
which hamper spiritual maturity and spiritual growth.
The empirical research reported in chapter 5 shows that the parishioners’ experience of shame
is associated with disharmony between values and expectations in a specific community. This
phenomenon has a huge impact on position (habitus; attitude; aptitude) within cultural
contexts.
The study proposes the use of a pneumatological model of understanding of God, based on
Louw’s four-stage counselling model, in order to respond constructively to an existential
problem such as shame within the Korean Presbyterian Church. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die ingewikkeldhede verbonde aan ons verstaan van die belewing van skaamte word wyd
erken. Hierdie werk is gemoeid met die wisselwerking tussen die belewing van skaamte en godsdienspatologie binne die Koreaanse kultuur, veral met betrekking tot fn teologiese antropologie.
Godsdienspatologie impliseer die siek of verwronge geloof wanneer mense se
oortuigingsisteem of -inhoude, in die besonder onvanpaste Godsbeelde en negatiewe selfidentiteit, destruktief beinvloed word as gevolg van 'n pynlike en lydingsvolle belewing van skaamte. Daar is gehipotetiseer dat die verskynsel van skande in die Koreaanse kultuur verstaan moet word in terme van multidimensionele benaderings, te wete sielkundige, sosiologiese, sosio-kulturele en teologiese perspektiewe. Daar is geargumenteer dat lidmate se eensydige verstaan van en reaksie op die belewing van skande geassosieer is met
onvanpaste Godsbeelde en negatiewe selfidentiteit wat geestelike volwassenheid en spirituele
groei belemmer.
Die empiriese navorsing waaroor in hoofstuk 5 verslag gedoen is, toon aan dat die lidmate se belewing van skaamte verband hou met diskrepansie tussen waardes en verwagtinge in 'n spesifieke gemeenskap. In die verband speel die kultureel-religeuse agtergrond van Korea 'n deurslaggewende rol. Hierdie verskynsel het fn fundamentele impak op mense se posisie
(habitus; hauding; wees-funtsie) binne kulturele kontekste.
Die studie stel die gebruik van 'n pneumatologiese model, gebaseer op die vierfase beradingsmodel van Louw, vir die verstaan van God voor om konstruktief te reageer op die eksistensiele probleem van skaamte binne die Koreaans-Presbiteraanse Kerk.

Building up the church and church growth in Korean churches through the Koinonia of a small group ministryKim, Tae Hyun 15 July 2011 (has links)
This thesis researched the development and nurturing of koinonia in a small group setting as a way of building up a church with spiritual (qualitative) and numerical (quantitative) growth as one of the results. When considering church growth a small group ministry is an important alternative to the standard church practice. Chapter 2 reviewed the purpose of the church, and explored the concept of building up the church using Biblical concepts as its basis for doing so. Chapter 3 deals with the role of koinonia in building up the church and its impact on church growth. It also identifies the ministry of small groups as being the most suitable method to develop and nurture koinonia amongst members of a congregation. The ministry of small groups has a great practical potential for the church. It enables members of the congregation to identify and use their spiritual gifts and talents, and in so doing, discover their value and identity in Jesus Christ. Chapter 4 documents the findings of empirical research conducted amongst three South Korean Presbyterian churches that practice the ministry of small groups. The views of the three senior pastors were on the value of small groups were ascertained. This was followed by a detailed study, of the workings and effects of small groups covering 205 respondents spread across the three congregations. Based on the findings of the research, chapter 5 presents a proposed plan to build up the church, encouraging church growth through the development and nurturing of koinonia through a small groups ministry. The study proposes a seven fold approach to the implementation of a small group ministry designed to stimulate spiritual and numerical growth through the development and nurturing of koinonia amongst church members. AFRIKAANS : Hierdie tesis ondersoek die ontwikkeling en beoefening van koinonia (gemeenskapsbewustheid) in klein groepe as 'n wyse om die kerk se geestelike (kwalitatiewe) en getalle (kwantitatiewe) groei te bevorder. Met die oog op die groei van die kerk is die kleingroep-bediening 'n belangrike alternatief vir die standaard kerklike praktyk. Hoofstuk 2 bekyk die doel van die kerk, veral die opbou van die kerk volgens die Bybel se begrip daarvan. Hoofstuk 3 handel oor die rol van koinonia in die opbou van die kerk en die invloed daarvan op die ontwikkeling van die kerk. Die kleingroep-bediening is geidentifiseer as die mees gepaste metode om koinonia tussen die lidmate van die gemeente te stimuleer. Die kleingroep-bediening het 'n groot potensiaal vir die praktyk van die kerk. Dit stel lidmate in staat om hulle geestelike gawes en talente te ontdek, en op die wyse hulle waarde en identiteit in Jesus Christus te ontdek. Hoofstuk 4 dokumenteer die bevindings van die empiriese navorsing by drie Suid-Koreaanse Presbiteriaanse kerke wat 'n kleingroep-bediening toepas. Die drie senior leraars se seining van die waarde van klein groepe is verkry. Daarop volg 'n gedetailleerde studie van die werking en uitwerking van klein groepe soos verkry van 205 respondente vanuit die drie gemeentes. Op grond van die bevindings van die navorsing stel hoofstuk 5 'n plan voor om die kerk op te bou en kerkgroei aan te moedig deur die beoefening van koinonia in 'n klein groepe. Die studie stel 'n sewevoudige benadering voor vir die toepassing van 'n kleingroep-bediening wat ontwerp in om geestelike en getalle groei te stimuleer deur die beoefening van koinonia tussen gemeentelede. / Dissertation (MA(Theol))--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Practical Theology / unrestricted
