초록

웨슬리 형제들은 아버지와 어머니로부터 시와 찬송의 교육적인 배경을 가지
고 태어났고, 특히 찰스 웨슬리는 기질적으로 운율과 시, 찬송과 감성이 풍
부한 사람이었다. 한 사람은 설교와 신학으로 또 한 사람은 찬송과 감성으로
부흥운동이 본격적으로 시작되었을 때 조화를 이룰 수 있는 커플이었다. 웨
슬리 형제를 통해 새롭게 시작된 부흥운동의 찬송은 분명히 사람들의 마음
을 사로잡고, 부르기 쉽고, 기억하기 쉬운 대중음악으로서의 역할을 했다. 이
는 전문가들이 아닌 대중이라도 쉽게 따라 부르고, 쉽게 가르쳐줄 수 있는
전파력을 가진 것이었다. 교육받지 않은 이들에게나 사회적인 지위가 낮은
일반인들에게도 호소력을 가진 곡들이었기에, 부흥운동의 메시지는 찬송과
함께 전파되었다. 이런 의미에서 웨슬리안 부흥운동은 단순히 신학적인 운
동이 아니었으며, 일상적인 삶에서 꼭 필요한 실용적이며, 미학적인 문화 운
동이었다.

영어초록

The English revival movement in the 18th century has been studied
mainly with the sermons, and the method to study the proses is good for
describing the reasons and explanations of the movement. There are,
however, more room in it. To understand the atmosphere and the power
of epidemic of the movement, one can trace the verses of hymns and
poems. This paper suggests Charles Wesley as one of key figures, who
was a hymn writer and revivalist, but often neglected by the historians.
In their childhoods, John and Charles were trained by their parents,
who were good poets. When they first met the Moravians, John and
Charles were overwhelmed by their singing, and Charles wrote the
sacred poems for explaining his inner feelings and later his “evangelical
conversion.” One of their major works in Georgia was translating and
publishing the hymns. Especially, Charles was estimated to write more
than 6,000 poems and refined English sacred poems with more combined
and generalized theological ideas. The Methodists were famous for their
energetic hymn singing, even with the popular melodies.
While the revival movement was growing, the two leaders should face
the problems of getting over their earlier undeveloped practices and
theologies. Charles began getting closer to the professional musicians
such as George F. Handel, John F. Lampe, and Johann Christian Bach,
mainly because of his sons' music education, but this made him stay away from many Methodists. The 19th century American revival
movement became also turned out to be the same tendency that the
revival is growing like a flow while the participating hymns were sung
fervently and energetically by the congregation, and vice versa.
