구약성서의 이주민 신학과 한국사회의 다문화 가정 = Immigration Theology of the Old Testament and Korean Multicultural Families

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Korean Society is now rapidly entering into the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society in line with universal and international immigration movement in the Era of Globalization. At the center of this change are immigrant workers and immigrant women for international marriage from the poor countries in the Third World. This article is especially concerned about the multicultural families and immigrant women for international marriage.
Old Testament puts special emphasis on considering foreign weak people(esp. immigrant women) sojourning in Israel as their own people and loving them as their own brethren on the basis of Israel's sojourner experience or their history of 'ger.' We can find the concern of the Old Testament for the multicultural families and immigrant women in Genesis 16 dealing with Hagar narrative, Genesis 38 dealing with Tamar Narrative, and the Book of Ruth dealing with the marriage of the Moabite woman Ruth and Boaz. These texts ask for the Korean churches of taking care of the immigrant women within the multicultural families as their brethren. with the compassion and loving kindness of God.
And the excessively nationalistic and exclusive reformation of Ezra and Nehemiah, dissolving the multicultural families within the post-exilic community, ultimately aims at the establishment of unity in Israelite Community. Therefore. in the context of multicultural society of 21th century, rather the attitude of accepting multicultural families and immigrant women as a member of Korean Society may be the driving force enabling the social integration and formation of unity in Korean multicultural society.
