According to Jesus, God and Mammon are two mastε, rs. You can’t serve both. But, Jesus praises the shrewd money manager, and lauds those who grow their wealth in his parables(for example, Lk 16:21; 16: 19-31). MAMMON is a biblical term, Aramaic in origin, that refers to all material wealth or corporeal substance. Its reference is to one’s possessions, one’s property and equity, and, most importantly, one’s spiritual attitude toward all things owned. An important measure of any individual is the way in which that person views the matεrial world around him. The array of personal possessions which enhance and crowd our lives is boundless. People define themselves by what they own and consider wea1th and valuable possessions to be a blessing. Success is also often defined in material terms. In contrast, the teaching of the Jesus Christ in the synoptic Gospels were dedicated to freeing mankind from the slavish pursuits of material mammon. Of all Jesus' parables, none has worked its way deeper into the Christian consciousness as the Parable of the Good Samaritan(Lk 10: 25 - 3 7). The phrase “Good Samaritan" is used to describe any person who goes out of his way to help another. It’ s a theme that newspaper reporters love to feature because it captures readers' attention and fires the imagination. In this parable “ Jesus told every Christian, ‘Go and do likewise" ’ (10:37b). Jesus isn’t content just to define what “ neighbor" means. He commands us to do as the Samaritan does, to show mercy to our fellow man who is in need. I must ask myself, what we, as disciples of Jesus, are supposed to leam from this story. And for me the answer is to examine my own heart. What motivates me? For me, Jesus' command, “Go and do likewise," means that I must value acts of mercy over personal productivity. What does it mean for you?

소개
한국문화신학회는 기독교의 복음이 한국의 문화와 만나는 과정에서 발생하는 변증법적 현상을 연구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 문화신학은 복음과 문화 사이의 긍정적 관계 뿐 아니라 그에 대응하는 부정적 관계까지도 모두 포괄하여 하나의 큰 흐름으로서의 한국신학을 형성하려는 시도라고 할 수 있다. 그런 측면에서 문화신학은 보수적인 신학과 진보적인 신학을 둘 다 포용할 수 있는 한국적 특성의 신학적 사유를 존중하고 평가하고 한 단계 더 높은 차원으로 끌어올리려는 것을 목적으로 한다.
