AB - Charles Taylor maintains that the Reformers such as Luther and Calvin contributed to a positive interpretation of ‘everyday life’ in theological terms. In discussing divine self-disclosure and faith communities where divine self-revelation and acceptance of the revelation take place, the Reformers’ teachings have been conducive to overcoming religious exclusiveness and reinforcing the possibility of embracing God’s revelation and presence in the spheres of ordinary life. Taylor insists that Luther and Calvin offered a theological foundation where believers can regard their historical existence in the secular as the everyday basis of holiness. Endorsing Taylor’s thesis basically, I aim to explore theological and ethical foundations for affirming the value of ‘everyday life.’ My inquires in this paper are two-fold. First, I attempt to offer a systematic description of theological, philosophical and ethical foundations for such affirmation that are traced in the thoughts of Luther and Taylor. Major themes I will discuss include Taylor’s fundamental understanding of the affirmation of everyday life, a form of belief stressing individual persons as the subjects of everyday life, a positive evaluation of the meaning of everyday life in terms of the doctrine of creation and reason-centeredness, family and labor as key spheres for the affirmation of everyday life, and theological justification of the secular realm. Second, I will make some theological and ethical suggestions, hoping that they contribute to honoring the sacred and the secular comprehensively and strengthening Korean churches’ and their members’ responsible practice and engagement in the sphere of everyday life.
