에베하르트 융엘(Eberhard Jüngel)의 신학에 있어서 하나님의 계시와 성경의 중심성

The Centrality of God's Revelation and the Bible in Eberhard Jüngel's Theology: A Study for the Recovery of the Foundation of the Modern Reformed Theology and Christian Academic Work

In this article, I'd like to articulate Jüngel's theological method, if we can call it his method, noticing how Jüngel conceives theology and also the practice of theology. In order to clarify Jüngel's view of theological method, I will analyse his distinctive approach, and do so in three parts. In the first part, I will describe Jüngel's three basic hermeneutical decisions, in which the centrality of God's revelation and the Bible to Christian theology is distinctive. In the second part, I will explore Jüngel's theological method in depth. In order to do this, it will be helpful to understand Jüngel's theology, when his three basic hermeneutical decisions are considered in comparison with the views of some contemporary American theologians, David Tracy and Gordon Kaufman, because they have developed their own critical methodologies, which are opposed to Jüngel's theological position on God's revelation and the doctrine of the Bible. In the last part, I will look at his understanding and meaning of 'the authentic evangelical theology'. Through combining an understanding of God's revelation and the Bible in his theological thinking, Jüngel arrives at his distinctive position on the issue of theological method, and his position will give a fruitful foundation for contemporary issues on the reformed theology and studies in the general academic fields.
