Since the mid-twentieth century, the Christian churches in the third world have been interested in the inculturation of their liturgies based on their local cultures. In addition, many liturgical scholars have begun to research the methodologies and theologies regarding inculturation between the Christian liturgy and local culture. Among the most prominent figures to be on the cutting-edge of these efforts are Peter C. Phan, and Mark R. Francis distinctive scholars in the field of liturgical inculturation. In this research, I focus on the methodologies for liturgical inculturation formulated by each of those two major figures: Peter C. Phan and Mark R. Francis. Although each of them all asserts the importance of the inculturation of the Christian liturgy, their definitions of “liturgical inculturation” are distinct from one another. In this research, I distinguished each perspectives of the liturgical inculturation, and compared their theological and methodological approaches to the liturgical inculturation, and then rediscovered the new version of definition regarding “liturgical inculturation” in the context of the contemporary Korean Christianity. Through this research, I have reached a strong conviction that In spite of the diverse human conditions, the liturgical inculturation is indispensable for ortho-relationship with God, ortho-faith in God, and ortho-life in the community.
