| 영문 초록 | Climate Change is possibly one of the most pressing global issues today. This article presents an overview of the basic science of anthropogenic Global Warming and its resultant effects of Climate Change. This leads our inquiry into a critical reflection of the political / economic regimes as well as recent discussions concerning the issues of energy that are at the root of the fundamental causes of Climate Change. This paper aims to demonstrate that, at a deeper level, the problem of Climate Change is theological. A critical re-evaluation of the issues reveals that Christian communities have been somewhat negligent toward the issue, which may be partly attributed to the increasing tendency of dualism of the modern contemporary Christians in a secular world that often dissociates their faith from active public engagement. However, there is an increasing level of consensus amongst biblical theologians and Christian ethicists that such dualistic tendency betrays the fundamental ethos of the Scripture, which is revealed through the redemptive history of Israel. Rather, the Christian religion calls for "corporate world-view", which promotes an understanding of salvation that is not merely concerned with the spiritual regeneration of an individual but also a strong sense of community through which the fundamental issues surrounding Climate Change can be properly addressed. |
