In this paper, I critically examine hope in transhumanism through theological perspectives. In relation to this concern, the primary task of pastoral caregivers and pastoral counselors is also explored. Transhumanism is both a philosophical movement and techno-centered science. By operating scientific and technological imagination transhumanists seek to transcend human conditions and limitations with the help of science and technologies. Compared to transhumanism, this article argues that the primary task of pastoral care and pastoral counseling is to embrace paradoxical and ambiguous hope in suffering by practicing theological imagination. By using ironic imagination, death is not separated into life; despair from hope; pain from cure; human limitation from human possibility; past from future From the perspective of Christian faith, hope is always associated with the darkness of suffering, pain, agony, crying, and despair.
