다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Christian colleges and universities strive to instill their students with the institution``s founding Christian principles. Chapel services and Understanding Christianity courses are two most important tools in implementing this purpose. In the operation of the Understanding Christianity courses, which are usually required for all undergraduate students in the freshmen year, it is imperative that the Christian faith should be presented always in the context of the contemporary society. As a part of university``s general education, Understanding Christianity courses have to make best efforts to present Christian faith look plausible in the academic and secular environment of the university. And they have to intelligently address issues relevant to various fields of colleges and departments. This study closely examines the survey which was conducted in June, 2006 at Yonsei University to assess the effect of "Understanding Christianity" courses. This study will show that there are tangible positive changes as a result of the operation of these courses. Particularly it will show that there are noticeable changes in students perception of Christianity, and in their moral judgment on various social issues.
