베르까우어의 인간론 = " 하나님의 형상 " ( imago Dei ) 을 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This thesis treats of Gerrit Comelis Berkouwer`s doctrine of man with regard to `imago Dei.` According to Berkouwer, the Bible rejects the dichotomy of soul and body or the trichotomy of spirit, soul and body. The Bible regards man as the whole man. The characteristic of the biblical view lies in this, that man appears as related to God( `the coram Deo,` `the man of God ) in all his creaturely relationships. He is of the opinion that man never appears as an isolated self- contained entity, but always and exclusively in that relationship which so decisively defines man in the full actuality of his existence. The broader sense of the image is used to stress the idea that man, despite his fall into sin and corruption, was not bestialized or demonized, but remained man. The narrow sense of the image is used to stress the idea that man lost. his communion with God-his religious knowledge, his righteousness, his holiness, his conformity(conformitas) to God`s will. Sinful man is not referred to in Scripture in terms of his ontological qualities, but in terms of his loss and his guilty. He can be placed in the perspective of the promise of salvation. The `humanitas (common grace, general grace) refers to some remnants of goodness which survive in fallen man. But this does not make man more innocent before God. On the contrary, it witnesses all the more to his guilt, since man, with all his endowments and with the surrounding light of nature, still clutches a totally apostate way of life, which stamps and defines fallen man in the total act of his whole life. The concept of `remnants` does not connote a quantitative reduction of the power of sin, or an only partial corruption, which would correspond with a partial salvation, but rather an activity in and with these endowments. It connotes darkness against light. Scripture proclaims the kerygma of the salvation of man through that other humanitas, that unambiguous and unspotted humanitas of God, which comes to us in Jesus Christ. The image of God is something which concerns the whole man, his place in this world and his future, his likeness in his being a child of a Father, of this Father in heaven.
