다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this paper is to study the main outline of Ha-Sang Jeong`s apology of Catholicism and confession through his Book(Sangjaesangseo, 上宰相書). The early Choseon Catholic Christians Had suffered from severe persecution at the hands of the government in the years in 1785(乙巳秋曹摘發), 1971(辛亥敎難), 1801(辛酉敎難), 1839(乙亥敎難), 1846(丙吾敎難) and 1866(丙寅敎難). The Catholic Church was known as an Unethical religion of ``mugunmubu``(``no-king and no-father``, ), thus, a great Persecution against is was an inevitable consequence. When the Gihae Persecution Against it was an inevitable consequence. When the Gihae Persecution erupted in 1839, He expected the second vice-permier Ji-Yeon Lee to end the sore Persecution and Choseon Catholic Church to have freedom of belief. But the govemment thoroughly suppressed Catholicism. And Ha-Sang Jeong was executed for the crime of ``no-king and no-father`` Ha-Sang Jeong``s Sangjaesangseo includes the apology of Catholicism and the unique confession of Catholic Church. 111e main issues Ha-Sang Jeong left behind us on the basis of his Sangjaesangseo could be summarized as follows: First, ``Apology of Catholicism``: He emphasized that Catholicism is not an immoral but a virtuous and ethical religion on the basis of live questions and answers. focusing on the ignorance about Catholicism. volunteering to be a martyr. misunderstanding about ``no-king and no-father``. virtues of wealth and chastity, and ancestral rites. In particular, he intended to differentiate Catholicism from Buddhism in order to show the accommodation of Catholicism 10 Confucianism. Second, ``Confession of Catholic Church``: He showed the intrinsic faith of Catholic Church. focusing on the existence of true God. the nonnative justifiability of the worship of God. the superiority of Catholicism Catholic Christian``s passion for national prosperity and welfare, indisputable historicity of Catholicism. and the accommodation of Christianity to Confucianism. Third, critique of Ha-Sang Jeong``s thought from the perspective of reformed theology: There are three difficult theological problems in his Sangjaesangseo. such as inevitable religious syncretism(Fu-ru-lun, 補儒論) reflecting ``Confucian Thoughts``, the abolitionism of ancestor worship based on the existential characteristics of the dead and the theory of psychopannychia. and absence of the quintessence of the gospel that includes the atonement, the resurrection. the second advent. and the kingdom of Messiah.
