Abstract: | |||||
The objectives of this research are three in number: an understanding of Hick's
religious pluralism and Newbigin's theology of religions; an exploration of the reason
for their divergence; and a constructive suggestion for the recovery of mission anew,
despite the challenge of religious pluralism.
Hick's religious pluralism focuses on the Real-centredness based on religious
experience and supported by its fruits. Newbigin's theology of religions focuses on
Christ (or Trinitarian)-centredness based on confession. The main reason for their
divergence is their different paradigms. Hick's was transformed into a religious
pluralistic paradigm, while Newbigin's retained a particularistic (Christian) paradigm.
Each one's paradigm was closely related to his faith (presupposition). Two constructive
suggestions for the Korean Christian context are pointed out: biblical study and
following the model of Jesus Christ. Biblical study, taking account of the Korean
Christian context, has the hope that Christians will find a wider meaning of God in the
Bible, while keeping their faith. Following the model of Jesus Christ emphasizes
orthopraxis as well as orthodoxy. It means following Jesus, self-emptying and self-sacrifice
for the sake of mission to people of other faiths.
