헤르만 바빙크의 그리스도의 신성의 믿음과 지식에 대한 통합적 관점 ― 특별계시의 다양한 측면에 대한 통합적 관점을 위한 표준들 = An Integrative View on Faith and Knowledge of the Deity of Christ in Herman Bavinck: Norms for an Integrative View on Various Aspects of Special Revelation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) argues that modern thought and theology are prone to separate faith from knowledge by emphasizing one aspect of faith among the propositional, empirical, or ethical aspects when the relationship between faith and knowledge is related to a methodology. This tendency has its roots in the rejection of supernatural reality and miracles in conformity with the principles of natural law and autonomy, eventually leading to the denial of Christ's deity. This paper aims to provide Bavinck's norms for an integrative view on faith and knowledge of the deity of Christ and special revelation based on that by synthesizing the objective, subjective and applicable elements of Christianity found in Bavinck's “Het Christendom” and the historical, organic, whole-person and soteriological aspects of special revelation found in his Reformed Dogmatics. Bavinck's norms provide significant insight into a relevant discussion; when participating in a theological enterprise or preparing a sermon, the norms make one more properly see what one is engaged in by comprehensively considering all relevant issues. As the background for an integrative view on faith and knowledge of Christ's deity, the significance of Christ's deity and the necessity of a supernaturalistic worldview are discussed, while Christological unity is viewed as the foundation for such an understanding. From both perspectives, I demonstrate how, although the supernaturalistic worldview appears to have dualistic elements, all the opposing elements are united in Christological unity, in which the universality of Mediatorship occupies a central role.
