영문 초록 Postmodernism is main mental trends spreading worldwide from literature, arts, architecture and philosophy as well as to public mode. A matrix of postmodernism is an irrationalism deconstructing the authority of reason and morality and objective value and a pluralism rejecting traditional norm and ethic and objective truth. The movement of postmodernism has six types. The first one is a neoorthodoxy, the second one a new paradigm of thelogy, the third one a new ontology, the fourth one a theological pluralism, the fifth one a liberation theology or Min Jung theology, the sixth one a deconstructive theology. This movement is providing two positive facts in favor of reformed theology, Firstly, it is overcoming a reason-centered worldview, secondly, it is showing the limit of science-centered one. However, this movement is arousing four negative facts which reformed theology should denounce. First, it negates the authority of tradition, expecially of christianity. Second, its de-cononization denounces the authority of Bible. Third, it gives rise to relativism and sceptism by giving a strong emphasis on the relativity of truth in terms of time, space, race and sex. Fourth, its pluralistic thought affirms the religious pluralism which claims the salvation in other religions. Religious pluralism claims a view of god "one god who is a divine reality exists beyond gods of religions" by affirming the gods of religions are nothing but second expressions of the ultimate divine reality in their historical and cultural conditions. However, the scholars of history of religions denounce the claim of religious pluralists that there is one common divine ground among all religions. This claim is only a hypothesis of religious philosophical speculation which disregards the differences of religions. Religious pluralism claims a view of Christ "there is a Christ in other religions". It affirms there is a way of salvation in other religions by suggesting a Cosmic Christ which is a contactspoint between christianity and other religions. Furthermore, it tries to provide a evolutionistic explanation model of Christology that Jesus was in the beginning only the largely unknown man of Nazareth, afterward regarded as a Messiah by the shock of mysterious resurrection experience of the early church and influence of greek-roman culture, nextly as a metaphoric son of god, finally as a literal Son of God. However, Such a evolutionary explanation does not accord to the biblical understanding of historical Jesus. Such different titles of historical jesus should be interpreted not in the viewpoint of evolution but of development. Jesus was from the beginning the Lord and God. The title "Son of God" is abled to apply to historical Jesus between A.D.30 and A.D.50. Reformed theology is requested to build up a transforming theology of religion. This conception suggests a transforming thinking negating both the former of fundamentalism to view the other religions as idol worship and the later of liberalism to view christianity as one among the various religions in the history. It is showing an inclusive attitude by affirming other religion is a general revelation of God. It makes affort to give testimony of Christ to other religions, so that they may be illuminated by the Christian Gospel and guided to true trinitarian God.
