How can we read the whole landscape of religions in Korea? Scholars in the field of religious studies have explored inter-religious relations mainly focusing on particular religious issues, putting the most emphasis on religious “hearts in harmony” or religious pluralism. Thus far, sociologists of religion have attempted to explain the religious landscape from a particular perspective, such as “religious pluralism,” “religious markets,” “the relationship between church and state,” “civil religion,” and so on. There have been few exploratory attempts to explain the overall religious ecology, including inter-religious relationships and the relationship between church and state. This study aims to categorize and explain previous social theories on Korea`s religious ecology and suggest a new theoretical perspective for integrative research on religious ecology in Korea. Sociological analyses of religious ecology in Korea have shifted from harmonious perspectives (e.g. heart-oriented common religiosity, functionalist views on religious markets) to conflicting ones (e.g. critical views on religious markets, political theories on the relationship between church and state). In particular, there have been theoretical separations between economic models and political models. Hence it is necessary to develop a “relational frame” to include both aspects of religious theories. Furthermore, we suggest the significance of “feedback” in the theoretical frame in order to develop integrative explanations for inter-religious relations and state-church relations in a complex and multiply conflicting society.
