알브랑의 생애와 『성교리증(聖敎理證)』의 지향

초록

Seongchiaolicheng is a missionary book published in 1852 by Albrand (Ren Stepfanos), a member of La Société des Missions Etrangères de Paris. This book is a widely used doctrine in the process of missionary work during the period the lifting of the ban in Catholic. This book was used not only in China but also in mission sites in Korea and Japan. However, research on this is still in its infancy. In this paper, the author’s life was introduced in detail, and the author revealed his intention when writing this book and proved it to be the content of the book. Since 1832, Albrand has lived with the poor in Singapore, the first dispatch site, and has been engaged in missionary work. At this time, he learned Chinese and worked for the Chinese in the region. In 1846, in accordance with the order to relocate the mission site, he moved to guizhou for missionary work. Here, he died in 1853 while actively engaged in activities such as meeting the poor in person, talking and evangelizing. The orientation of the writings of Seongchiaolicheng can be largely divided into three. First, it focused on emphasizing that Catholicism is a right and true religion. Since it was a time when the ban was issued and just lifted for more than 100 years as a result of the precedent debate, he actively arranged various items to explain the correctness of Catholicism and tried to explain directly that Catholicism is a ‘holy and right religion’. Second, Ren Stephanos established a missionary strategy centered on the lower class and organized this book to serve as a tool to carry out it. In everyday life, questions and answers were organized so that believers could easily answer non-believers’ questions, and explained in as easy expressions as possible. Third, the emphasis was placed on refuting heresy. Nearly half of all items were used for heresy arguments. Even at this time, it was easily explained as an easy example of everyday life, and many people realized that heresy was false and organized to return to Catholicism. In addition, thanks to this characteristic of refuting the heresy of the region, this book could be used as a doctrine not only in China but also in Korea and Japan.
