영어초록

Moon-Young Lee is a layman, not a theologian or pastor, who practiced and influenced Christian values and world view during his academic journey. His impact has been felt for 130 years in Korean Christianity. Moon-Young Lee declares that the foundation of American public administration is the 95Theses of Martin Luther in his book ‘Man, Religion, State’. He also interprets the 95 Theses insections of “Methodology, Work and Men”. In relation to “Methodolgy”, Articles 1-7 and 92-95 explain repentance in its entirety. These articles show how man should live through out his life. The section about “Work” is classified in an ethereal world(articles8-55). These articles teach that the work of man is to pursue God’s justice not “profit” symbolized by purchase of indulgences. The section about “Men” is described in articles 56-91 and states that man is a being standing before God(coramDeo) not before priests or the church. Moon-Young Lee’s motive for joining public administration with Christianity is his childhood motto of: “I will study hard for my country from now on, but within the scope of Christianity.” For him, the 95 Theses of Martin Luther show the origin of and the foundation of three courses of action for public servants within administrative organizations.
