한국현대소설에 나타난 기독교적 구원의 문제 = The problem of christian salvation in Korean modern novels

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most of the studies on christian novels consider the religious content so highly that they often fail to analyze the novel as a whole. The novels written by Kim, Dong-in or Kim, Dong-ri that either describe the words and deeds of Jesus or investigate the problem of salvation, are studied by similar method.
Kim, Dong-in wrote three novels which figured Jesus's behavior, the salvation in Heaven or the phase of religious life in the colonial period when few christian novels were written. His novels dealt with the christian tenets straightly but tended to ignore the context of those. In his novels the vulgarization of christian narrative is so excessive that one may guess that it results from spite.
Kim, Dong-ri's novel describes Jesus keeping narrative distance so that Jesus's divinity is not injured. "The Cross of Saban" which has been misunderstood to oppose the salvation in heaven to relief on earth, also keeps narrative distance but on ending phase lose the unity of discourses. The language of author appears abruptly and humanized salvation so that the literary unity of novel breaks down. But at the cost of that, this novel achieves literary universality.
These novels have two common characteristics. Firstly, they usually construct the story with the elements of the Bible. Secondly, although referring to the Bible their understanding of the Bible is neither sufficient nor correct. Practically speaking, Kim, Dong-in vulgarized the contents of the Bible spitefully. Kim, Dong-ri respected Jesus's divinity but didn't accept the Resurrection of Christ to the last.
