다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Kim Hyun Sung`s poems in his fifties show the thematic characteristic of solitude. As a poet of Christian metaphysics, he locates himself in a very unique place in the history of Korean poems. He individualizes Christianity and that is an ecology and a way of thinking in his poems. This study deals with his skepticism on Christianity before and after his fifties. The varying patterns of his poems are studied based on the Christian supralapsarianism in the category of three periods after the high blood pressure struck him,Kim Hyun Sung denies God in his fifties whom he believed in his entire life until then. His poems express that well. Born to a church minister, he shows panorama of conflicts with God. The conflict between absolutism and indeterminism is still going on in the two thousand history of Christianity. The varying patterns of his poems are as follows. The first period shows that he accepts God`s absolutism in the conflict with his free will as a poet. He finds it hard to acknowledge God`s absolutism in his strong self-consciousness as a poet. Poems showing such characteristics are “Portrait,” “Platanus,” “Talking about Love,” “Tree and a Long Way,” and “I Will Just Live.”The second period shows that he gets away from God`s absolutism and finds his own way of free will. He becomes a master of himself in the existential solitude. Poems of such characteristics are “Title,” “Disease,” “The Taste of Poems,” “The Solid Solitude,” “The Absolute Solitude,” and “The End of Solitude.”The third period shows that he seems to be victorious in his pursuit of free will after his separation with God. However, the high blood pressure attacked him and made him confess his faith in God in the acceptance of God`s absolutism. Poems of such characteristics are “The Last Day on the Earth,” “In a Country Church,” “The Songs of Weapon,” “The Tree,” and “On the Easter Day.”Likewise, he shows denial and acceptance of God in his poems. His direct experience of supralapsarianism helped him incarnate his belief in God well in his poems. His place in the history of Korean poems is distinct in this respect. It is worthwhile to look into his poems in the light of theology. He made it an ecology in his poems to deal with ongoing conflict between absolutism and indeterminism.
