성결운동과 진화론, 그 만남의 역사와 대응

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper deals with the response of the American Holiness movement to Charles Darwin`s theory of evolution. Darwin`s theory of evolution had a huge impact on the American scientific circles and society in the 19th century. In particular, its basic premise was a great challenge to Christianity and its main doctrines. In response, American Christianity accepted, or completely rejected the theory of evolution. The American Holiness movement that also started at a similar time, was inevitably encountered Darwin`s theory of evolution and had no choice but to respond to it. According to the author’s research, the response of the Holiness movement to the theory of evolution has several characteristics: First, the Holiness movement was actually indifferent to the theory of evolution, although it externally stood firmly in the creationism camp which was completely opposed to the theory of evolution. Second, the Holiness movement as a member of the bellicose fundamentalism in the 20th century, only focused on conflict rather than dialogue with the theory of evolution. Lastly, the Holiness movement failed to track the theory of evolution (as studies or worldview) and racism (as ideology) which was widely popular among scholars at the time. Based on the above historical facts, the author dares to conclude that the relationship between the two corresponds to ‘the indifference model’. Why, then, did the Holiness movement respond the theory of evolution so indifferently? The author analyzes that the reason is due to the apathetic and dualistic attitude of the Holiness movement to the world (or science in a narrow sense) and, more precisely, the lack of Christian worldview which seeks to see the world from the Christian viewpoint.
