영문 초록

This essay describes John Calvin's life as a preacher and the characteristics of his sermons on Genesis. John Calvin's sermons on Genesis share various common traits with his other sermons which can be categorized into five main features. First, Calvin considered the mission of the preacher to be the exposition of the Word of God due to his firm belief that the unfolding of the literal meaning of the text was the most appropriate way to communicate the Biblical substance. Second, Calvin believed choosing the text of the Bible to meet the needs of the preacher's message was an unwarranted exercise of discretion. Therefore, Calvin exposited the text of the Bible in the order in which it appeared. Third, Calvin believed that the author's intent reflected the inspired will of God, and thus that purpose of Scriptural interpretation was to discover the intent of the author and explain it as accurately as possible. Specifically, Calvin held the thought and intent of Moses revealed in Genesis as the thought and intent of God. Naturally, Calvin's sermons on Genesis reveal a strong will to submit subjective thought to its author's intent. Fourth, Calvin always complemented his exposition of the Bible with practical, living application to the believer's walk. Finally, through the many references of Jesus Christ in his sermons, Calvin points out that Jesus Christ is the fulfiller of the text of Genesis. While Calvin does not relate all books of the Old Testament with Jesus Christ, we can see that his sermons on Genesis were always interpreted in light of the light of Christ and the New Testament. Calvin's sermons serve as an unwavering guide to the pulpit of the Korean Church, which is preoccupied with ideas of Reformed theology. The audience's conformity to holiness based upon a correct understanding of the absolute truth of the Word was the ultimate vision of Calvin's ministry. And that vision opened the floodgates to unparalleled revival. The revival of the Korean Church will only be possible when it recovers such intense and holy passion towards the Word of God.
