The theology of Dr. Jong Sung Rhee is called to the holistic theology. On the one hand, this article surveys whether the concept of his holistic theology is Biblical, first of all, or not. He did not success his holistic theology, even though he published 40 greatest volumes of his systematic theology. In spite of its incompleteness, this article presupposes that the holistic theology of Jong Sung Rhee is based on the foundation of the Biblical theology and evaluates his theologies that he enterprised during his whole life almost 90 years old: co-relational studies of various fields, an Biblical understanding, Trinity theory, science and theology and literature, an acceptance of interreligious and interdisciplinary dialogue, and eschatology etc. As a result of this survey, on the other, this article evaluates whether the holistic theology of Jong Sung Rhee is alright, or not, and whether the ohn theology of Myung Yong Kim is based on the Rhee``s holistic theology that ``united`` various theological aspects, because Kim thinks that his ohn theology further contains the concepts of no one side or more holistic view. What is the constructive principles of the holistic theology that he thought? He understood other civilizations (even science and religion) as ``the preliminary process for the Christianity`` or ``the one toward the Gospel.`` And how the Christian world view can understand the other religious world view through the holistic theology and lead the other different civilizations into the Christian civilization? Those questions are the major tasks that must be solved by the scholars who success the holistic theology of Jong Sung Rhee.
