基督教在韩国的本土化实践

The Indigenization of Christianity in South Korea

萨满教是韩国的原生性宗教,也被认为是韩国的文化之根;佛教曾经是高丽王朝的国教;儒家文化也被朝鲜王朝作为治国之本,这三种主要的宗教文化与其他的宗教文化相互交融,形成韩国文化的多元性。18世纪后期,基督教传入韩国,这种与韩国传统宗教文化完全相异的西方宗教传入韩国之后,与韩国多元的宗教文化相互借鉴和交融,使基督教披上了韩国文化的外衣,成为基督教本土化的很好范例,展示了基督教的普遍性与地方性之间复杂的互动关系。基督教地方化的实践为基督教研究和人类学研究都提供了可资借鉴的视角和维度。

The three main religions in South Korea include： first, Shamanism, the indigenous religion of South Korea as the root of South Korean culture; second, Buddhism, the former official religion of Goryeo Dynasty; third, Confucianism, the fundamental administration Strategy used by Chosun Dynasty. These three religious cultures have been blended with other religious cultures, forming the multi - cultural characteristics in the culture of South Korea. In the late 18th century, Christianity, completely different from traditional religion of Korean, was introduced and was later mixed with local multi-religious culture, which, as an excellent model of indigenization of Christianity, has exposed the complicated interaction between universality and localization of Christianity. As a result, it offers a reference for both Christian researches and anthropological studies.
