초록

Chooyang, Han Gyeongjik was one of the most outstanding pastors in the history of the Korean Protestant Church. He was a famously known clergyman not only as a founder of the renowned “Youngrak Presbyterian Church,” but also as an organizer for building up modern “Republic of Korea” by participating in the U.S. military Government (Sep. 1945-Aug. 1948), right after the “Independence” from Japanese colonialism, and the 1st to 3rd Administrations of the Republic of Korea (Aug. 1948-Oct. 1972). From time to time, his argumentation, the so-called “New nation under the Christian belief,” raised hot controversial debates on the relationship between politics and religion. However, his main ideas for building up a new nation gave much influence to seek an appropriate political ethics in the “newly- born country.” The writer discusses the ideas of Chooyang, concerning the “building a new nation” through his address, sermons, books, and interviews at first. How were his ideas on the political practice reflected in the living political world? What was a limitation of his ideological suggestions in a real political formation? In what scope and extent, was his assertion adopted? Through these discussions, we could come to have a more concrete understanding on the “Establishment of a Christian Nation for Modern Korea.”
