천도교의 신관에 관한 연구 - 그 역사적 변천을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide the base for the complete study of Ch'ondogyo thought by tracing the change of the ch'ondogyo concept of god historically. This study is composed of reviews and analyses of various writings written by 5 Ch'ondogyo leaders. The historical change of the Ch'ondgyo concept of god mentioned in the above writings is summarized as follows. The founder of Ch'ondogyo, Ch'oe Suun's concept of god had the immanent tendency as well as the transcendent tendency. But he put more strength on the transcendent tendency than on the immanent tendency.
