titleFamily School for Inter-generation Faith Education with Tong Bible A Case Study of Hyunheung Church, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea
abstract The study began with the desire to have a Tong Bible motto of The Bible is Wholly Enough in our lives for Sunday School and Family School, and the contemplation and reflection on the present address of Korean Church Sunday school education. The purpose of this study is to present the curriculum and outcomes of Tong-Bible that Hyunheung Church is performing in the field in front of educational reality, And the necessity of Tong-Bible to give the whole.

The Sunday School lessons that the Korean church's denominations have produced as a result of a lot of interest for the next generation are excellent. However, only 20% or less of the 66 books of the Bible were adopted as texts, and they were taught partly by themes, doctrines, figures and events. Therefore, we should intend to Tong Bible that teaches all bibles, all nations, all families, from the age of five. We must give the next generation the whole Bible as one story, not as a fragment, but as a whole. In order to do that, we must give 'time, space, human' and 'individual, family, country', 'the kingdom of priest, five empires, the kingdom of God'. Sixty-six books of the Bible should be read as 'all, not part', and in the order of history, the Heart of God should be put into the hands of a balanced 'Tong Bible' methodology with harmony of the parts and the whole. This is part of the church, but it must begin with the Family School in the household, which is the field of 'Intergeneration Religious Education', as ordered by the Bible.

In order to accomplish this goal, we are pursuing Tong Bible Formula, which is a comprehensive Tong Bible in the ministry of Hyunheung Church. The curriculum and goals, the curriculum of each stage, and the textbooks of each stage are compared and analyzed. And we surveyed the members of the three teams participating in the 'Bible Discipleship Training', and as a result, we will show that they give good influence to individuals and the church.

This researcher will see the succession of the Faith in the Family School, although it is practiced in a small church. I believe that the day will come when the Family School will be implemented in Korean churches and households through the Bible method. When we begin the All the BiBle, to all Nations, from the age of five in all families, under the motto of Tong Bible, which says, 'The Bible is Wholly Enough in our lives', I am sure that the flowers will bloom.
