1 히브리적지식관 Hebraic view of knowledge 지식과행함 이통합되어있다. The knowledge and practice are integrated. 예 : 야다 대상에대한객관적지식뿐만아니라대상에대한책임이나대상과의관계성까지포함한다. ( 창 3:5, 22) Ex.) the word yada means not only objective knowledge but also sense of responsibility and relationship. (Gen. 3:5, 22)

2 Adam s naming of the animals in Gen. 2 창 2장에나타난아담의이름짓기 In this biblical account, the human imitates not the word of creation (amar), but rather God s second, interpretive word (qara), the word that, on the first three days, names Day and Night, Heavens, Earth and Seas. That God does not name, on the subsequent days, the abundance of things he creates to fill those spaces sun, moon, and stars; fish and fowl; creeping things and cattle signals neither lack nor carelessness, but rather the choice to entrust this hermeneutic task to humans. In Genesis 2, God brings the animals to adam and then steps back to see what the human will name (qara) them.

3 Adam s naming of the animals in Gen. 2 창 2 장에나타난아담의이름짓기 In the naming process, Adam comes to understand the nature of the world, as well as human capabilities and limitations: Adam, for instance, needs a counterpart but cannot create her. God must create Eve, although her creation spurs a further naming on the part of Adam, a lyric poem of praise. Adam s recognition that something is lacking, even in the good world of Eden, mimics God s declaration in Genesis 2 that It is not good for Adam to be alone. Thus, the biblical naming story sets out the paradigmatic case of thinking God s thoughts after him, a phrase often used in the context of Christian scholarship. Later in scripture, within the theological framework that understands humans as gifted with the roles of prophet, priest, and king, scholarship falls under the kingly function: It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out (Proverbs 25:2, RSV).

4 학문과신앙의통합 Integral view of faith and science 1. 창조 / 문화명령 ( 창 1:26-27) Creation/Culture Mandate 2. In learning and through learning, God s glory and love towards our neighbors should be manifested. 배움과가르침에있어하나님의영광과이웃 사랑이나타나야한다.

5 창조의발전 The Development of Creation 1) 창조는하나의오픈시스템이다. Creation is an open system. 2) 문화명령 (Cultural Mandate): 창 (Gen.) 1:28; 2:15 발전과보존 (develop and preserve) prairiedust.net/postcards_from_kansas/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/tulips_25march_4.jpg 3) 응답적인간 (Homo Respondens) 4) 동산에서도성으로 (From Garden to City):

6 학문과신앙의통합근거 Integral ground of faith and science 하나님의주권God s sovereignty 만물이그에게서나왔고.. ( 롬 11:36a) from him are all things. (Rom. 11:36a) 모든것이그로말미암아생겨났으니, 그가없이생겨난것은하나도없다. ( 요 1:3) Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

7 Clement (c ) 클레멘트 (Titus Flavius Clemens) - the head of the School of Alexandria. 알렉산드리아학파의대표 - united Greek philosophical traditions with Christian doctrine 헬라철학전통과기독교교리를연합시킴 - developed a Christian Platonism. 기독교플라톤주의를발전시킴 - arose from Alexandria's Catechetical School and was well versed in pagan literature. 알렉산드리아학파에서훈련받아이방문학에능통함 철학은주께서그리스사람들을부르시기전, 직접, 그리고무엇보다주님께서그리스사람들에게주셨다. 율법이유대인들에게그리스도에앞서했던것처럼철학이그리스사람들의정신을키워주었다.,, 진리는하나다. - Stromata

8 Anselm of Canterbury 안셀름 (c ) - a Benedictine monk, an Italian medieval philosopher, theologian, and church official who held the office of Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 to Called the founder of scholasticism. - famous in the West as the originator of the ontological argument for the existence of God, i.e.: God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived. - But to exist is greater than not to exist. If God does not exist then he wouldn't be "that than which nothing greater can be conceived." Therefore, God exists. - one of the first western thinkers to directly engage the reintroduction of Aristotle to the West. - However, he didn't have all of Aristotle's works and those he had access to were from the Arabic translations. - In 1720, Anselm was recognized as a Doctor of the Church by Pope Clement XI. - Credo ut intelligam. I believe so that I may understand. - fides quaerens intellectum, faith seeking understanding. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/anselm_of_canterbury

9 Anselm of Canterbury 안셀름 (c ) I acknowledge, Lord, and I give thanks that You have created Your image in me, so that I may remember You, think of You, love You. But this image is so effaced and worn away by vice, so darkened by the smoke of sin, that it cannot do what it was made to do unless You renew it and reform it. I do not try, Lord, to attain Your lofty heights, because my understanding is in no way equal to it. But I do desire to understand Your truth a little, that truth that my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand so that I may believe; but I believe so that I may understand. For I believe this also, that "unless I believe, I shall not understand." (Proslogion, chapter 1) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/anselm_of_canterbury

11 학문과신앙의통합가능성 Possibility of integrating faith and science 모든학문활동에는선재적세계관내지패러다임과같은전제 가있다. Every scientific activity has a kind of presupposition such as a priori worldview or a paradigm. 예 Ex.: Max Weber, Frankfurt Schule, K. Marx, S. Freud, M. Polany( 이론구성에있어인격의영향 ), T. Kuhn, H. Dooyeweerd( 종교적근본동인 ), P. Feyerabend (anything goes).

21 학문과신앙의통합 Integration of faith and science 1. It is not a process that is strange or unique to Christianity. 이것은이상한과정이거나기독교에만있는것은아니다. 2. It is an activity performed by everyone who understands the need for a coherent worldview. 이것은일관성있는세계관의필요성을이해하는 모든사람에의해행해진다. 3. Faith means here the set of basic beliefs, preferences and presuppositions that guide our lives. 여기서신앙은기본신념, 선호및전제들로우리의 삶을인도하는것을의미한다. 4. Then everyone religious or not practices the integration of faith and learning. 그렇다면모든사람은종교적이든아니든신앙과학문의 통합을실제로하고있다. - Robert A. Harris,

22 통합의두조건 The two conditions of integration Every time we learn, we engage in the process of integration, comparing new knowledge claims with already accepted knowledge, attempting to fit the two together into a consistent and coherent whole. 우리가무엇을배울때마다우리는새로운지식을기존의지식과비교하면서통합하는과정을겪는다. 그리하여이두개를서로 일관성있고 통합된전체로만들어가는것이다. - Robert A. Harris,

23 통합의형태들 Types of integration 1. Connecting knowledge with knowledge: accept, reject, adjust or put one the shelf 지식과지식의연결 : 수용, 거부, 조정또는 보류 2. Connecting knowledge from one area with knowledge in another area 한분야의지식과다른분야의지식연결 3. Connecting knowledge with one s larger beliefs about the world 한지식을더큰세계에대한믿음과연결 4. Connecting knowledge with one s basic presuppositions and values 한지식을기본전제들및가치들과연결 - Robert A. Harris,

24 학문과신앙의통합전제들 Presuppositions of integrating of faith and science 1. All truth is God s truth. 모든진리는 하나님의진리이다. 2. There is no conflict between God s truth and other truth. 하나님의진리와다른진리간에는갈등이없다. 3. Secular learning is incomplete and often distorted. 세속적인학업는불완전하며자주왜곡되어있다. 4. Christian integration is based on a Biblical framework of reality. 기독교적통합은성경의실제관에기초하고있다. 5. Truth is the most important goal of learning. 진리는학문에서가장중요한목표이다. - Robert A. Harris,

25 학문과신앙의통합필요성 Necessity of integrating of faith and science The integration is such an important topic largely because too little of it seems to occur. The bias in the academy and in the larger culture against Christian truth and Biblical authority has had the effect of disconnecting Christian knowledge from other knowledge, even in the minds of some Christians. 통합은너무나잘일어나지않기때문에매우중요한주제이다. 학계및문화계에서기독교적진리와성경적권위에대한편견은심지어어떤그리스도인들도기독교적지식과다른지식을단절시키는결과를낳았다. - Robert A. Harris,

26 학문과신앙의통합필요성 Necessity of integrating of faith and science For this reason, integration must be undertaken with deliberateness. Christians must be intentional about making the connections between their faith and the knowledge claims they encounter and careful to keep the Biblical framework in the foreground as the structuring principle of truth. Therefore, to become a better integrator, learn all you can, be dedicated to the Word, and look for the unity of truth. 따라서통합은의도적으로이루어져야한다. 그리스도인들은그들의믿음과지식을연결하도록노력해야하며 성경적틀을진리의원칙으로전제해야한다. 따라서보다더나은통합가가되기위해최선을다해배우면서 말씀에헌신하는동시에진리의일치를추구해야한다. - Robert A. Harris,

27 Why is the integration so important? 통합이왜그렇게중요한가? A key focus of a Christian university is the integration of faith with learning and living in its teaching and scholarship. Faith, heart, soul, and intellect must function synergistically to empower students fully. 기독교대학의핵심포커스는가르침과연구가운데학문과신앙그리고삶의통합이다. 믿음, 마음, 영혼그리고지성은학생들을충분히키워주기위해함께기능해야한다. The Christian university derives this from the most important principle: Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. 예수께서그에게말씀하셨다. "' 네마음을다하고, 네목숨을다 하고, 네뜻을다하여, 주너의하나님을사랑하여라 ' 하였으니, 이것이가장중요하고으뜸가는계명이다. Matt. 22: Robert A. Harris,

28 Why is the integration so important? 통합이왜그렇게중요한가? 1. We must drive out fear of our minds before we will allow full development of them. 우리는우리의지성을충분히발전시키기전에두려움을제거해야 한다. "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." --1 Peter 3:15b 여러분이가진희망을설명하여주기를바라는사람에게는, 언제나답변할수있게준비를해두십시오. - 벧전 3:15b - Robert A. Harris,

29 Why is the integration so important? 통합이왜그렇게중요한가? 2. When we become aware that the mind can be an ally of faith, we will see the importance and priority of mind training and take our academic work more seriously. Read J. P. Moreland's Love Your God with All Your Mind. Faith is built by understanding, by studying the world God has made: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." --Romans 1:20 뜻 ( 지성 ) 이우리의믿음을강화시킨다면우리는우리의학문활동을 좀더진지하게받아들여야한다. 믿음은이해에기초한다. 이세상창조때로부터, 하나님의보이지않는속성, 곧그분의영원하신능력과신성은, 사람이그지으신만물을보고서깨닫게되어있습니다. 그러므로사람들은핑계를댈수가없습니다. 롬 1:20 - Robert A. Harris,

30 Why is the integration so important? 통합이왜그렇게중요한가? 3. Christian faith in relation to learning must be understood not as just an "added bonus" or appended item to standard scholarship from a secular worldview, but instead as a more comprehensive and more rational epistemology than, say naturalism or materialism "Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth." --John 17:17 학문에서기독신앙은단지세속적세계관이보는것처럼 추가적인보너스 가아니라자연주의또는물질주의보다더포괄적이고합리적인인식론으로이해해야한다. 진리로그들을거룩하게하여주십시오. 아버지의말씀은진리입니다. 요 17:17 - Robert A. Harris,

31 What does Integration Involve? 통합은무엇을포함하는가? 1. The inclusion of the whole person heart, soul, and mind in all activities, worship, work, thinking, feeling, studying, deciding, interpreting 모든활동, 예배, 일, 사고, 감정, 학업, 결정, 해석에있어전인격 마음, 영혼, 뜻 을포함함 2. acknowledging the reasonableness and truth of Christianity 기독교의합리성과진리성을인정함 3. recognizing that Christianity is not a viewpoint imposed on world knowledge, but an epistemic foundation (competing with lesser epistemes) that provides a clarifying platform for engaging all knowledge 기독교가단지세계지식에더해지는관점이아니라인식의기초로서모든지식을더분명히하는기반을제공함을인정함. - Robert A. Harris,

32 What does Integration Involve? 통합은무엇을포함하는가? 4. applying the standards and worldview of Christianity to thought and behavior 기독교의기준과세계관을사고와행동에적용함 5. a call to cultural evaluation by Christian standards (John 7:24) 기독교적기준으로문화를평가함 ( 요 7:24) 6. a call to social response 사회적응답 7. the understanding of human nature, human value, and human potential through the light of Biblical truth (1 Cor. 14:15; Acts 17:2-3; 17, 18:4, 19 and 1 Cor. 13:11) 성경진리의빛을통해인간의성품, 가치및잠재성을이해함 ( 고전 14:15; 행 17:2-3; 17, 18:4, 19; 1 Cor. 13:11) - Robert A. Harris,

33 The impact of a well performed process of integration 잘진행된통합과정의영향 1. values, choices, decision-making, and ethics by using Christian reference points 기독교적관점을사용한가치, 선택, 결정및윤리 2. meaning, the purpose of events, history, text and the purpose and goals of life: in other words interpretation or hermeneutics 의미, 사건의목적, 역사, 텍스트및삶의목적및목표들, 즉해석 3. views of truth and a reasonable, well-grounded faith versus a blind faith 진리의관점들및합리적이며근거있는신앙대맹신 4. a hierarchy of life: faith as a test of politics and ideology in the secular world (Phil. 1:9-10: 1 Peter 1:13a) 삶의우선순위 : 세상에서정치및이데올로기에대한테스트로서의 신앙 ( 빌 1:9-10; 벧전 1:13a) - Robert A. Harris,

34 Definition of Faith-Learning Integration 신앙과학문의통합에대한정의 A scholarly project whose goal is to ascertain and to develop integral relationships which exist between the Christian faith and human knowledge, particularly as expressed in the various academic disciplines. 여러학문분야에서표현된 기독신앙과인간의지식간에 통합된관계를발전시키는것을 목적으로하는학문적프로젝트 - Prof. William Hasker,

35 Integration or unitary truth? 통합인가단일화된진리인가? We as human knowers are confronted by diverse and apparently unconnected bodies of knowledge achieved through different means; it is precisely and only by "integrating" such diverse bodies of knowledge that the vision of a unity of truth is gained. 우리가다양한방법으로획득한다양하면서도아직연결되지않은일련의지식들을대할때이것들을 통합 할때에만진리의통일성에대한비전이성취된다. - Robert A. Harris,

36 Strategies for Integration 통합의전략 1. The compatibilist strategy: "the integrity of both faith and discipline are in large measure presupposed. [and] [t]he scholar s task is one of showing how shared assumptions and concerns can be profitably linked." 양립전략 : 신앙과전공분야의통합이대부분전제되어있으며학자의사명은이러한가정들과관심들이어떻게적절히연결될수있는가를보여주는것. - Robert A. Harris,

37 Strategies for Integration 통합의전략 2. The transformationist strategy: recognizing that there is "some legitimate insight in the disciplinary assumptions to begin with," and to go on from there to "remake or transform his discipline into one with a Christian orientation. 변혁적전략 : 우선각학문의가정들에대한정당한통찰력을인정하면서나아가그전공분야를기독교적관점에서변혁시켜나가는것. - Robert A. Harris,

38 Strategies for Integration 통합의전략 3. The strategy: finding that the existing disciplines are so deeply permeated with anti-christian assumptions of secularism, rationalism, and naturalism, he has no choice but to reject them and to begin at the beginning in a radical reconstruction of the disciplines on...fully biblical foundations. 재건적 reconstructionist 전략 : 기존학문들이세속주의, 합리주의및 자연주의와같은비기독교적가정들에너무나오염되어있음을발견하고이들을모두배척한후 온전히성경적기초에근거한학문들을새롭게재건하는일 을시작함 - Robert A. Harris,

39 Strategies for Integration 통합의전략 The three strategies may better be viewed as three points on a continuum, than as three mutually exclusive alternatives. 이세전략들은서로배척하는대안들이라기보다 하나의연속성으로보는것이낫다. - Robert A. Harris,

40 Dimensions of Faith-Learning Integration 신앙과학문의통합차원들 Theoretical and Applied Disciplines: it must not be thought that one and only one approach is possible. 이론적및응용학문들 : 다양한접근이가능하다. Dimensions of Integration in the Theoretical Disciplines. 이론적학문의통합차원들 1. World-view Foundations: 세계관기초 2. Disciplinary Foundations: 학문적기초 3. Disciplinary Practice: 학문적실습 4. World-view Contribution: 세계관공헌 - Robert A. Harris,

41 Dimensions of Faith-Learning Integration 신앙과학문의통합차원들 Dimensions of Integration in the Applied Disciplines. 응용학문의통합차원들 1. Theory Applied to Practice: 실제에적용된이론 2. Ethics and Values: 윤리및가치들 3. Attitudes: 태도들 4. Contribution to the Kingdom of God. 하나님나라에대한공헌 - Robert A. Harris,

42 The challenge and the task of faith-learning integration: our calling 신앙과학문의통합 : 도전, 사명, 소명 Nicholas Wolterstorff, Until Justice and Peace Embrace (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans 1982). If the ultimate goal of Christian study and theorizing is the elaboration of the Christian world-view, the ultimate goal of Christian practice is to build the Kingdom of God. 만약기독교적연구와이론화작업의궁극적인목적이 기독교적세계관을설명하는것이라면 그리스도인의실제적삶의궁극적목적은 하나님의나라를건설하는것이다.

43 Truth revealing learning 진리를드러내는학문 If God rules over all things and all creation coheres in Christ (Col. 1:15-20) then all that is true in creation belongs already to God. All truth is God s truth (Gabelein in The Pattern of God s Truth, 1968) and Jesus is the truth of God (John 14:6). Therefore our task is to uncover God s truth that already exists in creation. It is not a matter of marrying or bringing together our faith with what is true in the world it is already united through Christ. What is true cannot exist apart from the sovereignty of God it is his truth. God is the source of this truth and all truth is brought together through Christ. nurturingfaith.wordpress.com/2009/03/16/rethinking-integration-of-faith-and-learning

44 Truth revealing learning 진리를드러내는학문 Where is God s truth revealed in this aspect of learning? 이학문분야에서하나님의진리는어디에드러나는가? What does this teach me about him? 이를통해하나님에대해무엇을더알수있는가? What has happened from a human standpoint to obscure the truth? 인간적관점에서진리를모호하게만들기위해무슨일이일어났는가? How has man subverted the truth? 인간은어떻게진리를왜곡시켰는가? What must be done to restore truth from a Biblical perspective to this situation? 이러한상황에서진리를회복하기위해성경적관점에서무엇을해야하는가? nurturingfaith.wordpress.com/2009/03/16/rethinking-integration-of-faith-and-learning

56 The biblical roots of modern science 근대과학의성경적뿌리들 by Jonathan Sarfati Historians of science have pointed out that modern science flourished under a Christian world view while it was born in Greece, China and Arabia. 과학역사가들은근대과학이그리스, 중국및아랍에서탄생했으나기독교사회에서꽃피웠음을지적한다. The historical basis of modern science depended on the assumption that the universe was made by a rational Creator. (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33). 근대과학의역사적근본은우주가합리적창조주에의해만들어졌다는가정에의존했다. ( 고전 14:33 참조 ) creation.com/biblical-roots-of-modern-science

57 The biblical roots of modern science 근대과학의성경적뿌리들 by Jonathan Sarfati If atheism or polytheism is true, then there is no way to deduce from these belief systems that the universe is (or should be) orderly. 무신론또는다신론이진리라면이런신념체계들에서우주가질서있음 ( 있어야함 ) 을도출할수없다. Genesis 1:28 gives us permission to investigate creation, unlike say animism or pantheism which teach that the creation itself is divine. 창 1:28 은피조물이신적이라고하는애니미즘또는범신론과달리창조를연구할수있도록허락한다. creation.com/biblical-roots-of-modern-science
