The cultural shift in what is commonly referred to as the postmodern era has vastly influenced the minds and logic of young adult seminarians. An actual transition in different values was observed in how they expressed themselves, and in how they conducted their daily lives. The purpose of the research is to establish a foundation for spiritual education in Korean evangelical seminaries by investigating seminarians’ understanding of cultural change and its impact on their spirituality. For this aspect of the study, a qualitative research design was employed. Thirty-three evangelical seminary students between twenty-two and thirty years of age, from three evangelical seminaries, were selected for this study. An in-depth interview from the participants’ perspective was conducted to gather data throughout a year, and a constant comparative method of data analysis was used. The findings of this study indicated that young evangelical seminarians’ spirituality was formed and influenced by socio-cultural factors. Cultural change affected young seminarians’ notion of spirituality, be it individual, experiential, or post-modern.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
