As my doctoral dissertation, I pursued a possiblity to intergrate bwtween non-Christian cultural values and Christian insights. Recent researches are reaching to the postmodernism (Korean and Japanse phenomenon of Postmodernism and New Age), Conversion theory and Christian Sacraments, and Vatican II's Liturgical Renewal.
I began to work at Sophia University from 2002. Ever since, I have taught Liturgy and Sacramental Theology at the Theology Department. Church Calendar, Church Architecture, Churhc Music, Arts, the Theology of Divine Office, Sacrament of the Initiation, Sacrament of the Eucharist are main sujects to deal with. As far as research concerend, I have written articles on Inculturation of Liturgy, Theological Methodology, and the Vatican Council II and Liturgical Renewal, ect. From now on, I am going to deepen my research on Eastern Chrisitian Traditions. I am also teaching at Sogang University in Korea and at EAPI in Phillippines.

Catholic Studies, 77 111-150, Aug, 2008This thesis aims to make some liturgical commentaries on Egeria's Journals. According to recent studies, Egeria, originally from Spain, was regarded as a religious woman who traveled to Jerusalem in the years between 381 and 384 when St. Cyril was patriarch of the Holy City. Chapters I to XXIV, the first part of the Journals, record liturgical figures of Jerusalem church, the so called stational liturgy. Stational liturgy, characterized as an urban phenomenon from the 4^<th> century, comes to prevail in major Christian cities. Jerusalem along with Rome and Constantinople was one of the representative places of the stational liturgy. This thesis, following John Baldovin's description, defines the stational liturgy as (1) an urban liturgy led by the bishop of that city, (2) mobile liturgy celebrated in different churches, (3) the choice of station depended on the feasts and seasons that the liturgy celebrates, (4) the Eucharist and the Liturgy of Hours, along with processions, are the main contents of the liturgy. Egeria begins with the description of the daily liturgy : On weekdays, it contains Matins, Lauds, the day Hours, and Vespers (Lucernarium) ; on Sunday, the Eucharist is a selection of all the ligurgies. The main station of everyday liturgy is Holy Sepulchre Complex which contains Martyrium (Basilica), Anastasis (Rotunda of the Resurrection), Chapel behind the Cross, Forecourt of the Basilica, etc. The Lenten season and Eastertide are the most mobile and active periods of time. All the people with the patriarch move from the Holy Sepulchre Complex to Sion, Eleona, Bethany, Lazarium, Imbomon, and Bethlehem, etc, that they may realize the significance of the events they celebrate. Every Christian liturgy is characterized by its function of remembrance (anamnesis) of Jesus, but the stational liturgy of Jerusalem was a special way of remembrance because it was the place where the liturgy was being remembered. The liturgy of Jerusalem in Egeria's time, therefore, was an effort to sanctify the time and the space realized by Jesus, the Christ.

Catholic Studies, 76(76) 131-165, Aug, 2007This article aims to analyze some theological and pastoral implications revealed in the third edition of the Roman Missal (Missale Romanum) along with the 2002 General Instruction of the Roman Missal (Institutio generalis Missalis Romani). The third edition of the Roman Missal and the new General Instruction, published in 2002 with the approval of the late Pope John II, are regarded as decisive works of the forty years effort to renew the Roman Catholic Church's liturgy in the motto of "the full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgical celebrations" (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. No. 14). Fostering the translation process from the Latin into the vernaculars, the Catholic Bishop's Conference of each country or each language group has tried to reflect the significance of the new edition in their practical applications. The proper translation and its proper application of the new edition may have two results: (1) to foster creative adaptation of the Roman Missal within each cultural situation, and (2) to secure a sense of stability by using the Missal's fixed liturgical text. This article uses "comparison" as a methodology to analyze the characteristics of the new edition. The third edition of the Roman Missal is compared with the first (published in 1970) and the second edition (published in 1975) ; the 2002 General Institution of the Roman Missal is compared with previous ones, especially the 1983 edition. After careful comparison and analysis, this article reaches the conclusion that the new edition reveals some specific characteristics in two distinctive ways : (1) some concrete directions are provided to explain the practice clearer; (2) some new practices are added to foster full and active participation of the whole assembly. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium) provides fundamental norms for adapting the liturgy to the temperament and tradition of people. For example, number 37 of the same document states "the Church has no wish to impose a rigid uniformity but respects and fosters the genius and talents of the various races and people" (no. 37). Number 38 also stresses the variations and adaptations to different groups, regions, and peoples, especially in mission countries, in their process of translating and revising. This article argues that the new edition's significance will be fully achieved when the whole process is entrusted to the discretion of the local ordinaries. For translation and its application will be well realized not by a rigid uniformity of liturgy, but by the substantial unity coming from tradition.
