(기독교 구원론과 행복)

Instructor/ Dr. Jeremy J. Hong (홍정수 교수 [email protected])

강의는 YouTube에 올라갑니다. ▶참새예수 http://bit.ly/3r7xTjz

Objectives:

1) Learn a linguistic sense for doing theology. 신학적 사유, 성경 읽고 해석하고 적용함에 필요한 언어 감감 상식을 익힌다.

2) Confirm most of the churches teach the so-called "Four Spiritual Truth for Salvation," which becomes now quite non sense.

현재 거의 모든 교회의 구원론 구조는 “4영리 구원론”이다. 이 구원론의 유래, 강점, 단점을 확인한다.

3) Review, from Galilean Jesus' vision, the Science of Happiness". 최근에 확인된, 행복 과학(The Science of Happiness)”에 기초한 Richard Layard의 책을 읽으면서, 기독교인의 삶 속에서 행복을 구현하는 과정에 각자의 예수-신앙과 목회자의 역할 정립을 시도한다.
