Realizing human potential has always been a focal point within the field of education. To further discover ways of achieving this objective, this paper deals with the anthropological understanding of Martin Luther, Alfred Whitehead, and Parker Palmer and the applications of their thoughts on education. Luther emphasized language education as a way of realizing human potential and restoring the relationship between God and humans. Whitehead claimed that conceptual power should be developed through epistemological processes, while Palmer presented a compromise between Luther and Whitehead, emphasizing love. Paulo Freire helped them to achieve the balance between theory and practice through the process of critical reflection and liberation. The holistic understanding of education contributes to a Christian interpretation of creation and the identity of the Christian educator. The goal of Christian education can be examined by producing epistemological development, as well as building loving relationships, because meaning is made through dialectical processes in education and the awareness of the meaning of life liberates people, as Paulo Freire indicated.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
