This study is to present a practical theological alternative that must be implemented in Christian education and pastoral counseling based on the biblical understanding of humanity as “a living soul” in the post-corona era that will be newly welcomed after the Corona era. The first part of this study aims to study human understanding as “a living soul” in biblical and systematic theology. To interpret this in the perspective of systematic theology, “a living soul” refers to a concept representing “structural nature,” and is an expression that reveals the organic unity of human beings as "the whole man of the mystical association of the spirit and the body." And “a living soul” refers to a concept of “existent method,” and is an expression that reveals the “personality,” which is the “spiritual being” in which the “body is completely associated with the soul and is the way of existence of the soul.” Thus, human understanding as “a “living being” is a message of the principles of creation that explain the origin of life as well as human uniqueness that explains the origin of life as well as human uniqueness. Based on this biblical understanding of human beings, the second part of this study seeks practical theological alternatives to express holistic health. First of all, from the perspective of Christian education, the first section explains the challenges of posthumanism that began to emerge in the 21st century— transhumanism and anti-humanism. And the second section examines storytelling strategies through metanarratives—creation, corruption, redemption, and recovery. Next, from the perspective of pastoral counseling, the church community should be able to provide an environment in which humans can not only breathe physically and spiritually as a whole person, but also breathe healthy psychologically through three methodologies of empathy: mirroring self-object transference, idealizing self-object transference, twinship self-object transference. The contribution of this study is that through biblical human understanding and practical theological alternatives, it instills correct self-identity in churches and believers who have to live in the post-corona era, and provides practical application points to lead a life of faith that is worthy of biblical identity.
