The world is witnessing a situation of crisis and distrust amidst local wars and nuclear threats in the Middle East and Europe, and proxy economic wars between major powers. Korean society is also trying to overcome the aspect of division amidst a series of political and religious situations. How can we overcome these crises? Theology rejects the perspective of judging only from the side of the strong, which is the logic of the world, and demands balanced integrity. Also, from a practical theological perspective, we must apply the theological ideas we know to the practical field of the church. In view of the crises of including the world and Korea, and the necessity for a holistic perspective response and practical task, my argument is that Jürgen Moltmann proposes incarnational(embodimental) approaches through holistic, eschatological, and marginality-focused perspectives in his ecological theology as an alternative to overcome these crises. Macroscopically, the intention of this paper is to connect the dogma of ecological theology and the practice of educational theology. Microscopically, I will suggest a blueprint for the future for the Korean Presbyterian Church through holistic, eschatological, and marginality-focused perspectives based upon Moltmann’s theology for the Korean Presbyterian Church. Methodologically, in the application part of this paper, I will use incarnational(embodimental) application tools for the Korean Church and Christian educational praxis, following Motlmann’s theories in his ecological theology. The contents of the thesis are as follows. Firstly, I will describe Moltmann’s ecological theology. Secondly, I will examine the meanings of Moltmann’s ecological theology in the light of his holistic, eschatological, and marginality-focused perspectives. Lastly, I will apply Moltmann’s ecological theology to the Christian education in Korean context in order to overcome the discontinuity between theology and practice.
