영문 초록

The problem of "dead orthodoxy" needs to be tackled in the life and theology of orthodoxy believer. Since the doctrine most related to this issue is the doctrine of sanctification, the author tried to formulate the concept of holistic sanctification in order to solve the dead orthodoxy problem. The concept of "holistic sanctification" can be understood from the idea of "holistic gospel." Since the effects of sin from the fall of Adam are "holistic", which means the effect is an extensive one that covers material realm, physical, and socio-economic levels of believers' lives as well as an individual, spiritual level, the recovering redemptive work of our Lord Jesus must be also "holistic." In that sense, we are able to call the gospel of Jesus as "holistic gospel." If we follow the Reformed emphasis on "union with Christ" in the discussions of sanctification, then we are able to acknowledge the theological significance of "death and resurrection of Christ." The concept of believer's "being died to sin" which is a central idea in the Reformed discussions on the "death and resurrection of Christ" also provides the foundation for the concept of "holistic sanctification."
