Without His grace and guidance, none of my aspirations would have ever come into fruition. The days in researching, preparing, and writing this dissertation were very good, but neither my project nor my time at the Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, would have been possible without the patience, advice, and practical help of professors and colleagues of Doctor of Pastoral Music. I am grateful to Dr. C. Michael Hawn, who saw the merit in this topic and helped to make it a reality. His encouragement sustained me when the going was tough. Hawn’s good-humored and generous advice, not to mention his well-judged criticism, encouraged my growing confidence in applying the methodological approach with the sources I found. His exacting standards and careful correction in lucid writing were essential not only to the development of my argument, but in applying my research. I am also grateful for the wisdom of Dr. Christopher S. Anderson. His critique and suggestions have made me a better scholar. In particular, I thank Lee Geon Yong, the subject of this research. His tenderness and kindness gave me encouragement and strength. His music, coming from his heart, gave me courage and hope. I hope that the musical and ethnic division of South and North Korea may be restored through his Korean National Music Theory. My family has been a continued source of faith and motivation for me. I would like to thank my parents, Rev. Dr. Sung Oh Lee and Jeong Hee Lee, for all of their support and prayer while I was pursuing my doctoral degree. I would also like to thank my parents-in-law Hyun Chul Im and Young Ja Kim, for all their encouragement and prayer. I would like to thank my wife, Sung Eun Im. Sung Eun enabled me to pursue my dream of a doctoral degree that I was most suited for. Very few people receive such an opportunity, and very few enjoy the support and prayer of the kind that I received from Sung Eun who kept me going when running away seemed the best option, and for whom this dissertation is dedicated as a small token of my love and gratitude. Lastly, I would like to say that I love my son, Joseph Lee, the gift God gave me while studying the Doctor of Pastoral Music program. iv Hyun Min Lee (이현민) RECONCILE YOUR PEOPLE— 화해의 통일을 이루게 하소서: AN ANALYSIS AND REVISIONING OF THE KOREAN NATIONAL MUSIC THEORY OF LEE GEON YONG WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR CHURCH MUSIC AND THE REUNIFICATION OF SOUTH AND NORTH KOREA Advisor: C. Michael Hawn Doctor of Pastoral Music conferred: May 14, 2021 Thesis completed: April 23, 2021 ABSTRACT The political situation on the Korean Peninsula appears to be more hopeful now than for several decades, calling for a new strategy for reunification. Through music, people in the two Koreas can reclaim one ethnicity and the spirit of a unified nation. This thesis explores the possibility of achieving a unified ethnic identity through church music and poses a role for church music in overcoming the musical, cultural, and ecclesial divisions between South and North Korea. I examine the Korean National Music Theory (KNMT) of composer and church musician Lee Geon Yong as a musical and philosophical construct for analyzing the history, social culture, theology, and the implications of establishing a unified ethnic identity for South and North Korea. After comparing the political identities, artistic cultures, and musical characteristics of the two Koreas, I provide a brief history of the two Korean churches since their division. This research provides directions for a Koreanized church music to overcome musical heterogeneity of two Koreas. Based on this, I suggest the potential musical and theological characteristics of reunification hymnal and offer implications of Lee Geon Yong’s work for the reunification of church music for the North and South Korea. KEY WORDS: Korean National Music Theory, Reunification, Koreanized Church Music, Reunification Hymnal. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................................................................................... iv ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................................................................. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ..................................................................................................................................................................... vi CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................................................... 1 Methodology ........................................................................................................................................................................................... 1 A.

  • Effective Evangelistic Strategies for North Korean Defectors (Talbukmin) in South Korea
    ABSTRACT Effective Evangelistic Strategies for North Korean Defectors (Talbukmin) in South Korea South Korean churches eagerness for spreading the gospel to North Koreans is a passion. However, because of the barriers between the two Koreas, spreading the Good News is nearly impossible. In the middle of the 1990’s, numerous North Koreans defected to China to avoid starvation. Many South Korean missionaries met North Koreans directly and offered the gospel along with necessities for survival in China. Since the early of 2000’s, many Talbukmin have entered South Korea so South Korean churches have directly met North Koreans and spread the gospel. However, the fruits of evangelism are few. South Korean churches find that Talbukmin are very different from South Koreans in large part due to the sixty-year division. South Korean churches do not know or fully understand the characteristics of the Talbukmin. The evangelism strategies and ministry programs of South Korean churches, which are designed for South Koreans, do not adapt well to serve the Talbukmin. This research lists and describes the following five theories to be used in the development of the effective evangelistic strategies for use with the Talbukmin and for use to interpret the interviews and questionnaires: the conversion theory, the contextualization theory, the homogenous principle, the worldview transformation theory, and the Nevius Mission Plan. In the following research exploration of the evangelization of Talbukmin in South Korea occurs through two major research agendas. The first agenda is concerned with the study of the characteristics of Talbukmin to be used for the evangelists’ understanding of the depth of differences.

Probably unreadable in a single sitting but useful as a reference guide, the original has been modified in some wording, by mention of three new-ish concordances and by correction of quite a few errors.

Park Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Jean H. Park All Rights Reserved Abstract Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park This dissertation follows the activism of Korean students in New York City and the trajectory of their American education as it applied to Korea’s colonization under the Empire of Japan. As a focused historical account of the educational experiences of Korean students in New York from 1907 to 1937, this dissertation uses archival evidence from their associations, correspondence, publications, and the institutions they studied at to construct a transnational narrative that positions the Korean students operating within and outside the confines of their colonial experience. The following dissertation answers how the Korean students applied their American education and experiences to the Korean independence movement, and emphasizes the interplay of colonization, religion, and American universities in contouring the students’ activism and hopes for a liberated Korea.
