I. 들어가는 말

세계는 물론 한반도가 다문화 사회로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 변화에 따라 사회 전반이 그에 대응하는 변화를 추구하고 있다면, 기독교는 어떤가? 변화하는 세상과 더불어 변화하는 선교라는 명제를 남긴 데이비드 보쉬를 언급하지 않더라도, 기독교의 정신은 상황과 시대 속에서 선교적 사명을 위한 적극적 개혁과 변화를 당연히 여긴다. 어떤 시대에서든 기독교는 그 상황을 “선교에 긍정적 도전으로 삼아 더 나은 복음의 이해를 위한 계기로 삼아야 하는” 과제를 안고 있기 때문이다. 본고의 동기와 목적은 거기에 있다. 현재 변화의 추세가 다문화 사회로의 변모라면, 거기에 대하여 기독교가 변화를 지향해야 하는 신학적 기초, 혹은 패러다임, 그것을 세워보고자 하는 것이다.

This study builds on a direction of the missiological spirituality of Christianity in multicultural society. Currently, multiculturalization is a noticeable change of the globalized world. Specifically, Korean society recently experiences such a change. As Christianity has been dynamically transformed to adjust culture change, or context change, for the missiological purpose, Korean Christianity demands a new perspective that can be adapt to the today’s context change. This study is focusing on the contextual need.
By employing the biblical and theological discussion, the writer illuminates Christian basic idea from the perspective of relationship-based spirituality. Simply, Christianity is basically relationship-based. From the creation story, God the Father was co-working with the Son and the Spirit in the nature of the Trinity. In the greatest commandment, the Son is inviting all creature into God’s such a relational friendship. (Mt. 22:37-40) This belief was inherited to the disciples just as the benediction of Paul in 2Corinthians (13:14) presents that blessings are derived from the Trinity of the relational God. Furthermore, Jesus extends the concept of relational friendship, not only close neighbors but also far-off neighbors, that is, not only the members of family and church community, but also strangers and even enemies. Such a Biblical principle currently directs the Christian perspective to reach to all the neighbors, people from different cultures, with the love of Christ, called relationship-based spirituality.
In order to investigate effective methods, this writing suggests six main theoretical models. As for the concept of intercultural perspective, the writer brings the notion of Klaus Issler, which can be called the extension of neighbor concept. And for the ideas of cultural diverse and individuals’ transformation, this study employs following models, like experiential transformation (David Kolb), hidden curriculum (Judith and Sherwood Lingenfelter), ecology system (Urie Bronfenbrenner), multiple intelligence (Howard Gardner), storytelling (Tom Steffen). Thus, the concept of intercultural transformation can be conceptualized as the relationship-based love of Christians toward all the people from diverse cultures.
