The doctrinal ideas within Daesoon thought are based on the faith of Daesoonjinrihoe (The Fellowship of the Truth of the Great Itineration), which is grounded upon the Jeongyung, the official scripture of the religious order. Today the religious order is faced with the problem of how to develop and deepen the study of Daesoon doctrine. If this project is carried out successfully, a theory would be presented that would provide not only a firm foundation for their religious work, but also systematic research of Daesoon doctrine necessary for greater understanding by people of other cultures and religions. The field of Daesoon studies has emerged along with the development of the Daesoon religious order, as research was initially carried out by the Institute at the Daesoon headquarters. More recent research has been undertaken by Daejin University and The Inter-Academic Society in Korea. What is needed now is to evaluate the findings of the research, which will be instrumental in focusing the vision of the religious order within the context of Daesoon thought.

This study attempts to investigate the role of children in the Korean new religious movement, Daesoon Jinrihoe. The research method combined archival studies with qualitative research; interviews with two members involved in educating youth through the establishment of Youth Camps and Donggeurami, the order's youth magazine. Our four research questions were: 1. Do children play a central role in the millennial vision of this NRM? 2. Are children separated from the world? 3. Have Daesoon childrearing methods been challenged by secular authorities or anticult groups? 4. Are there procedures to educate children in the religious beliefs and values of their parents and the community? Our results found that Daesoon Jinrihoe appears to be a religion designed for adults. Children do not usually participate in religious activities. On the other hand, since 2005 there has been a strategic effort to educate the children in the faith of their parents, through the establishment of Youth Camps and the youth magazine, Donggeurami.

This article explores the intersection of freedom of religion, sangsaeng, and symbiosis when considering the post-COVID study of religions, especially new religions. When it comes to the study of new and alternative religious groups, where there is more potential for misunderstanding and misinformation, it becomes all the more important-and indeed mutually beneficial, in the areas of religious liberty, religious freedom, and cross-cultural dialogue-to learn about a tradition by taking into account the spiritual life and practices of members themselves and their own sacred writings and practices. Daesoon Jinrihoe offers a case study of the importance of this principle and the notion of sangsaeng in particular is a fruitful utilitarian lens for thinking about how scholars, journalists, and others might approach the study of religion in our complex and global digital age of (mis) information. Daesoon Jinrihoe is also considered in light of Roy Wallis's typology of world-rejecting, world-affirming, and world-accommodating new religious movements. Open areas for sociological research are proposed and the nascent field of Daesoon studies is compared to some similar scholarly endeavors within NRM studies.

대순진리회는 한국의 영향력 있는 종교단체 중의 하나로서, 그 교리 속에는 관념이 풍부하고 가치가 큰 '여덕'사상을 포함하고 있다. 이 글은 먼저 '여덕'의 함의를 정리한 뒤에 이것을 기초로 하여, 보편적인 '여덕'과 특수적인 '여덕' 두 가지 측면으로 대순진리회 교리 속의 '여덕'사상을 해석하였다. 그리고 그 배경에 담겨있는 이론의 취지와 뚜렷한 특색을 분석하였고, 이는 오늘날 아주 큰 본보기가 될 만한 가치가 있으며, 연구하고 보급할 만하다는 것을 나타내었다.

Applying the long and distinguished heritage of rhetorical theory to any sacred text, such The Canonical Scripture of Daesoon Jinrihoe, could fill many volumes of many books. This study, then, will provide some suggestive prolegomena for directions rhetorical criticism of the Scripture can take, now and in future research. This study will, further, make necessarily broad strokes in order to familiarize audiences and scholars of new Korean religions, and Eastern thought generally, with Western, both ancient and more modern, modes of rhetorical thought. As rhetorical criticism is increasingly embraced by Western religious scholarship, and as comparative religious studies remain an important dimension of textual scholarship, this article will contribute to both areas by presenting perhaps the first rhetorical-critical approach to the sacred scriptures of Daesoon Jinrihoe. When the new English translation of the Scriptures becomes available in the West, general and scholarly readers will be interested to find parallels and departures with religious and critical traditions with which they are already familiar (in this case, early American Protestant Calvinism). This study will make contributions, then, to the areas of rhetorical-religious criticism, comparative East-West presentations of nature within scriptural contexts, and establishment of grounds for further comparative investigations of Western traditions and Daesoon Jinrihoe.

영상 콘텐츠는 매체적 특성인 재현과 정보 전달, 몰입과 경험 등으로 교육의 수단으로 자주 활용되곤 한다. 특히, 종교영화의 경우, 종립학교나 신앙공동체에서 신앙의 이해와 고취를 위해서 더 많이 활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 대순진리회가 영상 콘텐츠를 어떻게 활용하고 있는지를 영화 <화평의 길>과 대순진리회박물관의 영상 콘텐츠의 활용 현황을 살펴보고, 과제와 제언을 하는 것에 목적이 있다. 연구의 제2장에서는 대순진리회 영상 콘텐츠를 영화 <화평의 길>과 대순진리회박물관의 영상 콘텐츠의 현황을 살펴보고 어떻게 활용되고 있는지를 분석하였다. 그리고 제3장에서는 대순진리회의 영상콘텐츠가 현재 종단 내부의 종교교육 자료로만 기능하고 있다는 한계를 장르영화로서의 '예수 영화'를 통해서 어떻게 활용 가능한지에 대해서 살펴보았다. 그리고 마지막 제4장에서는 대순진리회의 영상 콘텐츠가 종교교육을 넘어선 다문화 종교교육의 자료로 활용될 가능성을 제안해 보았다. 이를 통해서 대순진리회가 영상 콘텐츠를 활용할 때 좀 더 시의성 있는, 지역 종교를 넘어서 세계 종교로서의 확장 가능성을 탐색하는 데 기여할 수 있기를 바란다.

과거에 성지는 주로 고고학적 규범에 근거하여 호명되면서 종종 단일의 고정된 정체성을 부여받았으나 최근의 추세는 좀 더 포괄적으로 역사적, 맥락적 해석과 연동하여 유연하게 접근하고 있다. 성지는 시공간을 초월하여 다양한 변화를 경험해왔으며 권력과 권위의 복잡한 상호작용을 내재한 다층적인 종교정체성을 드러낸다. 이런 관점에서 대순진리회 도장의 종교적 상징과 이미지, 그리고 공간구조에 내포되어 있는 다층적인 의미는 세계유산이라는 새로운 정체성의 재정립을 가능하게 한다. 이 연구는 성지의 역사적 가치만큼이나 순례와 같은 영적 추구 행위가 동등하게 주목받고 있는 가운데, 유네스코 세계유산위원회가 지향하는 탁월한 인류의 보편적 가치를 통해 도장의 세계유산등재 가능성을 탐색한다. 이를 위해, 기존 종교유산의 사례로 그리스 아토스수도원공동체와 네팔 룸비니를 소개하고 종교유산이 어떤 방식으로 운영되고 있는지 고찰하며, 최종적으로는 도장의 문화유산으로서의 가치성을 실증적으로 검증한다.

For centuries in the Christian era in the West, rhetoric was considered to be a pagan art, one unnecessary for, and detrimental to, religious propagation. As the Christian era gave way to a scientific one during the Enlightenment, both rhetoric and religion were considered irrational and outside the scope of Cartesian certainty. In recent decades, though, rhetorical studies have regained status in universities and rhetorical studies of religion have proliferated. Much work remains to be done, however. For example, Western rhetorical models do not typically consider religious tenets or creeds in terms of what this article will call rhetorical relationality, because creeds and tenets of Western Christianity tend to be purely exhortative. In the West, then, we lack a framework for such an analysis, but with the Four Tenets of Daesoon Jinrihoe, we are presented with Tenets that can, in fact, be analyzed relationally. In order to analyze them as such, this article draws upon philosophical, legal, and rhetorical frameworks developed by major twentieth- century rhetorician Chaim Perelman to understand the primary concern of mutuality expressed in contemporary rhetorical relationality.

Scholars of new religious movements have emphasized the role of "second founders," such as Judge J.F. Rutherford for the Jehovah's Witnesses, Brigham Young for the Mormons, or Deguchi Onisaburo for Oomoto. They systematize and structure movements often created by the "first founders" with a minimal organization only. The paper argues that the model for the sequence first founder/second founder described by these scholars is the relationship between Jesus and Paul of Tarsus at the origins of Christianity. It proposes a comparison between Jesus of Nazareth and Kang Jeungsan, who established the tradition leading to present-day Daesoon Jinrihoe. It then summarizes the biography of Jo Jeongsan, recognized by Daesoon Jinrihoe as its "second founder" within the same tradition, and discusses the analogies between his connection to the "first founder," Kang Jeungsan, and the connection Paul of Tarsus established with Jesus Christ. The paper considers recent scholarship about Paul, often described as the "New Perspective on Pauline Scholarship." Paul never personally met Jesus Christ, except after the latter's death through a spiritual revelation, just as Jo Jeongsan never met Kang Jeungsan, except after his death, when he manifested himself to him in spirit. Nonetheless, Paul was able to decisively shape the largest branch among the followers of Jesus Christ, just as Jo Jeongsan originated the lineage leading to Daesoon Jinrihoe, currently the largest religious order among those recognizing Kang Jeungsan as the incarnated Supreme God.
