ABSTRACT The Spirituality of Rev. Lee, Sung Bong and Its application in Ministry Seung-Yeol Choi The Professional Graduate School of Theology Pyongtaek University Kyonggi-do, Korea (Faculty Advisor : Prof. Sung-Kuk Hong) This dissertation attempts to rediscover spirituality of Rev. Lee Sungbong which is regarded as the secret of his influence on the Korean Holiness and Evangelical Church as well as the whole Korean Christianity, but has been concealed, and to apply it to the local ministry. He was born in 1900 and died in 1965. Throughout his 37 years of ministry (1928-1965), he tremendously influenced both his own denomenational church and the Korean Christianity as a whole. This dissertation investigates how he made remarkable impacts on them through his own life, his ministry, and his revival meetings. As a result it discovers his influence owed to his own high spirituality, which can be called as emmanuel spirituality. Fruits of his emmanuel spirituality can be designated as life in poverty, of purity, and in entire submission. This kind of life was seen in the life of Jesus. Traditionally most spiritualists also have stridden toward such spirituality. However, they did it in the form of ascetic life in a desert, a cave, and a monastery. Meanwhile he, surprisingly and contrastingly, did it in his daily life. these fruits in his life fields. Generally, traditional spiritualists practiced their spirituality in their silence, because they thought that to express something in their practices was tabooed. But his spiritual practices were done comprehensively in expression and silence. It is thought generally that a few can achieve such a traditional spiritual practices. But Lee's silence and word expression proved as available for all people by way of repetition of confession of faith. Amazingly, his efforts made a great contribution by means of congruence between spiritual movement and revival movement. Therefore, at the time of depression of Korean Christianity and minister's degrading, Lee's emmanuel spirituality and its training methods will be the best alternative to renew their images. Meanwhile, his influence has been viewed in light of outward success of his revival meetings. But, the primary factor of his success in the revival meetings were his inward emmanuel spirituality. Moreover, his secret of successful life and ministry lied in his balancing between busy schedules and thoroughness of practice of emmanuel spirituality. His emmanuel spirituality, however, was not built in a day, by means of thorough training such of prayer, word, presence of God, and praising. Despite, unfortunately his training to retain the emmanuel spirituality has been exclusively applied to himself only, but not leaving it to others behind him. As a result his spirituality and practice have not been transmitted and the modern Christianity cannot inherit his spiritual legacy. Therefore, it is urgent for today's evangelical Christianity to adopt and apply them by reframing them applicable today. Then, today's dying Christianity can possess one of alternatives for her to experience revitalization.
