本研究以「大巡真理會」為例，聚焦於探討韓國本土新興宗教的救世觀。本研究分為三大部分：第一，探討十九世紀末的韓國社會背景與大巡思想的發展歷程。第二，透過四大重要教義概念，觀察大巡真理會的救世特點。大巡真理會的救世觀是，以甑山的宗教思想為基礎，建立了獨特的教義與修行法。第三，觀察現在大巡真理會以特定的救世觀為基礎，在現代社會中從事的社會實踐，以及扮演了什麼樣的社會角色。大巡真理會認為，過去世界因相剋的原理而瀕臨滅絕，由於上帝甑山的降臨與他的天地公事，可轉變為相生世界。然而，人類對上帝的信仰與修道是實現真正的理想世界之前提。因此，人類作為實現理想社會的主體，通過入世宗教修行與社會實踐，達成宗教目標。

This research focuses on the soteriology of Daesoon Jinrihoe, a new religious movement native to South Korea. The research first discusses the social context of Korea towards the end of the 19th century and the emergence of Daesoon Thought at that time. Second, it examines the features of Daesoon Jinrihoe´s soteriology through the concepts outlined in their Four Major Doctrines. Though based on the religious thought of Kang Jeungsan (1871-1909), Daesoon Jinrihoe has established its own unique doctrines and practices. Third, this work investigates Daesoon Jinrihoe´s engagement in contemporary society, what kind of social roles it plays, and how both are grounded in its particular soteriology. Daesoon Jinrihoe believes that the Former World was on the verge of extinction due to the dominance of mutual contention(相剋，상극). In response, the Supreme God descended into the world as Jeungsan and undertook the Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth(天地公事， 천 지 공 사) and transformed the world by facilitating a shift from mutual contention into mutual beneficence(相生，상생). Nevertheless, humanity´s belief in Jeungsan as the Supreme God and the religious practices that are associated with it are prerequisites for truly realizing an ideal world.
