초록

Media, one of the most effective and powerful information delivery systems, vastly affect societies all over the world. Television is very powerful exercising far-reaching influence through frequency of practical use and use of time. On the other hand, interreligious dialogue is a ‘hot photo’ among religious issues. Since the twentieth century, one of the predominant problems is the relationship between Protestants and Catholics, or Evangelicalism (WEA) and Ecumenism (WCC) as well as relationship with other religions like Islam and Buddhism. It is clear that interreligious dialogue has an important position in terms of unity for world peace and missional perspective. In this situation, mass media, having an official position for the public (e.g., television) deals with the issue of interreligious dialogue in Korea.
A cable television has broadcasted “Oh My God” program weekly, and it follows discussion procedure with topics connected with main issues in society and religious phenomena or questions. Though it does not have a great ripple effect, there is a need for observation about interreligious dialogue in mass media with missional perspective. It is because interreligious dialogue is communicated to the public through media. Although it must be reconsidered from a missionary aspect, there is also a need for discernment to realize the problems of interreligious dialogue with biblical and evangelical views in diverse religious situations like Korea.
In existing mass media, there rarely were reports about religions from the modern worldview. Moreover, people understand that religion comes under the category of personal area, but mass media put in the public area due to dualism. However, mass media dealt with religion in various aspects for reasons of the remarkable growth of religion and great influence in society. It is surely encouraging that mass media handles a variety of the issues of contemporary societies and religions pending questions through religious leaders who are given authority as reliable social leaders in mass media which mostly reported religions having social problems. In this aspect <Oh My God> program in meaningful.
Catholic, Buddhism, and WCC approach and understood interreligious dialogue form different dimensions of human beings. However, evangelism accepts and comprehends thoroughly interreligious dialogue in a missional position. Dialogue in evangelism is very important to understand other people, but its purpose and premise is certainly to preach the Gospel. According to Lausanne Covenant, dialogue of religious pluralism and syncretism is rejected based on distorted Gospel, and dialogue should be recognized as a tool for God’s mission.
Interreligious discussion of “Oh My God” is not a biblical and evangelical dialogue in the real sense. It gives merely advice about present problems and helps to understand other people, but it is not dialogue in the missional view. It does not matter if interreligious dialogue is performed in the personal area without mass media, however, it is broadcasting through a public dialogue by religious leaders invited in this program. It is difficult to find the position of interreligious dialogue with a missional purpose.
Therefore, Christians need to be concerned about the approach and to take a stand about sharing the Gospel. There is a need to form an image of Christianity through mass media in the missional aspect. First, there is the advance verification for the leader of Protestants. For this, the religious body should recommend a person who does his/her best to understand and approach interreligious dialogue. Second, Christians should distinguish the intention of viewers from the hidden intention of mass media. Mass media involves information with production crews and intention of planning the program. Leaders of each church should help establish evangelical views of interreligious dialogue through preaching, Bible study, and write-ups or articles. It should educate the people about religious dialogues from a genuine missional aspect.
Interreligious dialogue for true mission is one a contextualization demanded by the changing of the times, a tool of communication for the Gospel. Like Jesus Christ, Christians inevitably will meet people of other religions and will be asked to convince through dialectic dialogue (dialogue together as one). Interreligious dialogues should also ask for clear foundation of the purpose and premise for the dialogue with other religions as well as encourage understanding from love and humility for the image of God.
