Man Soo Han. 1997. Worldview, Culture, and Language. Collected Papers on Christain Language Culture. The purpose of this is to restore morality in language based on living sacrifices in pious, biblical and social-ethical dimensions. And, on the basis of this Purpose, this paper also aims at the establishment of Christian worldview which is the central systematization of Christian culture from which stems its values and system. In order to achieve this purpose, this paper makes an introductory remarks in chapter 1, In chpater 2, this paper argues that worldview functions as congnitive foundation and emotional security. And it integrates culture and monitor culture change based on validation of the deepest cultural forms. In chapter 3, Christian worldview has some words about the cross, reconcilation, life and salvation on the basis of the answers to the questions of our own, such as " I have been redeemed" " I have been called.", and " I am His." Besides the worldview, Christian culture is argued here that its core is the very understanding that we must live a life of living sacrifices in faith, hearing the word of God. In chapter 4, biblical language and morality are argued. It is argued that Jesus is a perfect communicator, a persuasive speaker with consummate skills of speech. It is also proposed that morality is restored only through Jesus as a perfect communicator. And, morality is also restored through our purification and beautification of our language lives. Animal-like language is to be changed into the language of making humans human. In chapter 5, our abstaining from profanity of our sacred words and not to tell a lie in the presence of God and in human society are proposed. In chapter 6, biblical language are proposed. They are symbolic, dialogical, and praying languages. Finally, in chapter 7, this paper proposes that restoration of morality in language is carried out only through the faith that it is not we who speak, but the spirit of our Father who speaks in us. With the help of the spirit we must speak with each other in our Christian culture based on Christian worldview. (Director of the Institute)
