초기 한국 오순절교회 3대 교역자 중 한 명인 허홍의 전(全) 목회사역에 대한 고찰 = A Study on the Entire Pastoral Ministry of Heo Hong, One of the Three Religious Workers at the Early Pentecostal Church of Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Heo Hong (1907-1991) is credited with founding a denomination known as the Assemblies of God of Korea and is widely acknowledged as a minister who embodied the ministry of the Holy Spirit within the Korean Church. He was listed among the “50 people on the 70th anniversary of The Assembly of God of Korea” in 2003 and among the “100 people of the Holy Spirit” in 2004.
After receiving Spirit baptism involving speaking in tongues and powers from the Pentecostal missionary Mary C. Rumsey, Heo Hong became a Pentecostal. He then established a mission workstation in Seobinggo, becoming the first Korean to found a Pentecostal church. In addition, he was the first Korean to serve as superintendent of both the Christian Pentecostal Church and the Assemblies of God of Korea (KAG). The Nambu Church, founded by him, served as the initial headquarters of the KAG, hosting its founding conference, and as the location where the Full Gospel Theology Seminary opened. Furthermore, he proposed the current Korean title for the KAG, “Hananimui Seonghoe,” played a crucial role in its selection, and served as a bridge between the Assemblies of God in America and the KAG.
However, despite his significant impact on the history of the Korean Church and the KAG, there is a lack of research about him, including research essays and dissertations. He has only been briefly mentioned in various papers and books. This study thoroughly reconstructs his entire pastoral ministry, spanning from birth to death.
