한국 교회사회사업의 정립과 종교사회학 = Theorizing about Church Social work in Korea and Sociology of Religion

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Churches are considered as an important social work agent, concerned with utilization of private resources in social welfare system. In recent years, churches have focused on social services rather than on the missionary work. In that context, church social work is requested to establish its disciplinary identity and, at the same time, to have its unique field in the profession. The challenge of church social work is related to four issues: 1) understanding of relationship between religion and science in the perspectives of sociology of religion; 2) integration of the original function of religion and social services in church social work; 3) connection of Christian social welfare function and church social work; 4) proof of the effectiveness of social-religious perspectives in church social work.
