| abstract | This thesis engages in John Wesley's social sanctification based on the Christian worldview. As the one, who is grown up
based on the Methodist foundation, is an ordained elder of Korean Methodist Church, and is a student studying Christian worldview movement, I hope to make a
connection between the Methodist understanding of social sanctification and the Christian worldview. Based on my experiences, deeply engaging in the Methodist
tradition and the Christian worldview, I hope to find a contact point for complementary relationship between the Methodist tradition and the Reformed theology
by introducing the Christian worldview movement to the Methodist tradition and John Wesley's social sanctification to the Reformed theology. For the comparative
study between John Wesley's social sanctification and Christian worldview, it is hard to deal with the whole wide range of studies of the Christian worldview
within this thesis. In this thesis, to compare with Wesley's social sanctification, I select three vital points of Christian worldview; the frame of
Creation-Fall-Salvation, Abraham Kuyper's sphere sovereignty, and the practical practices of Christian worldview movement. Based on this comparative study,
I will develop a disciplining material for North Shore Arumdaum Church where I am currently serving. The disciplining material, which is entitled as 'The
spirituality in Daily Life,' will be utilized to teach and educate the scriptural way of living in daily life based on both the Christian worldview
and social sanctification. |
