A. Kuyper's View of Sphere Sovereignty and the Korean Church: For its Preparation of the Post-Secular Society

4.9/5 (9995 ratings)

Description:Sphere sovereignty, which is characterized by the motto “a free church and a free state within a free society,” stresses the organic, pluralistic unity of society and therefore assuages the tense relationship between church and state or church and society. In His ordinances God endowed each sphere of society with its distinctive purpose and sovereignty which is never controlled or replaced by others, with the emphasis of the mutual interaction and cooperation between spheres. Furthermore, the theological principles which lie behind his idea of sphere sovereignty - common grace, the Kingship of Christ and Christianity as a world-view - will offer a Reformed foundation for social involvement. Thus, Kuyper’s notion of sphere sovereignty will open the possibility to overcome dualistic position of the conservative church, and to avoid the socialistic and revolutionary approach of the liberal circle, leading the Korean Presbyterian Church to be more Reformed. Nevertheless, the application of Kuyper’s view of sphere sovereignty to the Korean Church should be processed within the broad, deep interpretation of Kuyper’s thought. The separation of each sphere from the others should be emphasized along with an emphasis on their organic interrelationship. Christianity as a worldview should complement but not forsake its confessions and evangelism, and a clear distinction between pluralism and syncretism should be made. “Both religious and secular mentalities must be open to a complementary learning process if we are to balance shared citizenship and cultural difference.” This statement is made by Jürgen Habermas to describe the post-secular society and it is exactly what happen in Korean society. This means that Korean society is falling into post-secular society. Kuyper’s view of sphere sovereignty is to empower and guide Korean church for Christian living in the post-secular society. Christian social involvement is a key to understanding Christian living in the post-secular society. I clarify that this work came from the framework of my Th.M thesis at Calvin Theological Seminary.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
