영문 초록

There has been a perennial tension between challenge and response in human history and Christian education is not an exception. In this paper, views of sociologist Wuthnow, Christian educator Moore, and spiritual and educational teacher Palmer are presented in terms of their evaluation of today’s postmodern ethos. Their evaluation was named as challenge. Then their treatment of each challenge was dealt with in order to find clues for providing wholistic perspective of life in general and Christian education theory in particular. As a result of analysis of three writers’ thoughts, several clues were detected and they are to be the basis of making a wholistic Christian education theory as a next project. The clues were commitment, connection, discernment (Wuthnow), heart (Moore), integrity of self, journey to hidden wholeness with a circle of trust (Palmer). Their insights are helpful and valuable, we however cannot celebrate yet because we have not reached the final destination yet. Until we finish our journey to wholeness and/or meet our Lord, we must continue our journey.
