초록

The purpose of the christian education is to establish the kingdom of God. This means that the christian education should take charge of the mission of saving the world with the salvation of souls. To save the world, social service education is essencial to christian education. Nevertheless Korean churches concentrate themselves on the salvation of souls and the external expansion of the church, so that the interest in social service is relatively insufficient. There is a tendency to regard social service as only charitable work in korean churches. Even though they do social service, they don't have any appropriate theological system. Because of the lack of this theological system, the understanding is not formed well about social service, and social service doesn't have good roots in christian style of life. After all, korean christians have failed to take charge of social responsibility to accomplish God's will in the world.
This study discusses the paths of christian social service education, after studying the theological importance of social service in christian education. This study shows that christian social service education should include four areas, such as education for neighborhood love, education for life and integrity of creation, education for formation of good christian culture, and education for justice and peace. This study shows, also, that the christian social service education should be done in following four forms, such as social care, social ritual, social empowerment, and social legislation. If These four forms are mutually, dynamically related, the effectiveness of education would be strongly increased. It is important to know that the christian social service education should not stop in knowledge delivery. It aims to change the life. For this reason, theory and practice should be interconnected, Finally, it is a purpose of this study to show that the fields of christian social service education should be expanded to universal dimension; family, church, school, community, occupation, nation, global society, and creation.
