This paper presents an alternative model for the curriculum based on the concept of core competencies in higher education. The goal is to restore our Christian identity by reaffirming the Christian principles that are the basis of our ideals and inform the reassessment of our educational goals: “Love for God & Love for our Neighbors.” The question is, by what means can we best accomplish this in the modern world? It is important to focus on the Department of Theology, which has been facing a three-folded crisis: a decline in new enrollment, a loss of prestige for schools of theology in general, and a feeling of lacking cultural relevance due to the social isolation enforced during the pandemic. In the face of these difficult circumstances, we are struggling to raise the level of our school to that of a strong, if small, school of theology, to say nothing of looking beyond that! This paper gives an overview of the current philosophy and structure of YTUS, its curriculum and extracurricular activities, and of the Department of Theology in particular. Included is a modified vision and goals statement for the Dept. of Theology which is consistent with goal of changing the environment of education. This alternative is focused on core competencies, which are divided them into three main categories: religion, community and professionalism. Each of these includes pertinent competencies: spirituality, morality, values and attitudes; communication and interpersonal skills and leadership; self-directed learning, creativity and international competencies. The general approach to including core competencies in the Dept. of Theology will be to incorporate research-based best practices in both regular courses and extra-curricular activities to produce an up-to-date educational system. One more task that a Christian university should attend to is to adjust to the age of 4<SUP>th</SUP> industrial revolution. Integrating digital technologies into theological education will help to update our methods of education. Modernizing both the equipment and the systems to accustom students to the digital environment is both important and necessary if not only we but more importantly they are to remain competitive in the world of the future.

“A thought for a friend” by Taejun Park is a song cherished by many Koreans. The Cheongra hill in this widely loved song is where Youngnam Theological University and Seminary used to locate before it moved to Gyeongsan. The current site used to be called ‘dunghill’ as this place was in the outskirt of Daegu with nameless tombs where people used to dump excrement. At this location, the early missionaries established schools, churches, and health clinics as mission base camp. They started the bible study in this spot and founded Daegu Advanced Bible School in 1913. The first principal was Rev. James E. Adams, and Miss Martha Switzer took charge of women’s group as a co-principal in 1916. They raised many leaders who led Korean churches. Switzer constructed a women’s dormitory and donated the building, which later became renowned in Korean architecture history. However, the Bible school was persecuted and halted during the Japanese colonial period and reopened with the liberation of Korea from Japanese sovereignty after World War II. It had to close its door for a short period again during the Korean War. During the Korean War, the General Assembly Seminary in Seoul moved to Daegu for a temporary period. When it moved back to Seoul after the war, the North Gyeongsang Province Society resolved to establish a seminary and founded a school on April 12, 1954. The new seminary educated students while moving around by renting local churches. In 1960, it settled in the building of the bible school and became a formal education institution. Daegu Advanced Bible School and the Youngnam Theological University and Seminary merged, and the assets and students of Daegu Advanced School belong to the Youngnam Theological University and Seminary. The Youngnam Theological University and Seminary has a responsibility to inherit the spirits of missionaries who taught at the Daegu Advanced Bible School as it was founded on the history of the bible school. Just like the ivy leagues, which started in the early immigration history of the United States to foster many leaders of the country, Youngnam Theological University and Seminary should inherit the spirits of pioneers and build up the churches and the state based on the bible.

This study examines the issues related to the recentdecline in undergraduate recruitment at Youngnam Theological University and Seminary. The drop in the number of new students can be partly due to, but not limited to, the decreasing the number of high school graduates and Christian population. For a theological university, academic staff visits to churches could play an important role in student recruitment. However, in the current years there has not been enough effort made into this. For this reason, academic staff would need to do more to aid student recruitment as this is not a sole responsibility of the office of admissions.

영적 상승의 방법으로서의 위디오니시우스의 부정신학의 분석

The Apophatic theology is one of the core topics in Spiritual Theology. Studying God through negation, the Apophatic theology has opened up a ground for potential dialogues between Eastern Religion and Modern Philosophy. In order to understand the Apophatic theology, I shall study the works of Denys. In Denys's Corpus, we can recognize the culmination of the apophatic way. He employs the maneuvers of the apophatic way which are privation, abstraction, and apophasis. In particular, through the phrase 'beyond every denial' he reject seven the assertions of negation as he strives to grasp God from beyond the language of being. However, he does not deny God Himself, but he denies every term which regards God as a being. In spite of his thorough use of negation through double negation and negation of negations, he yet maintains the divine in a positive aspect throughout his Corpus. In this study, I explore Deny's Apophatic theory in three sections. In first section (Ⅱ), I examine relationships of metaphysics in Neo-Platonism which is the source of Denys's understanding of the universe and human beings. In second section, I discuss the nature of Deny's apophatic theory and also investigate specifically the process of Spiritual alleviation through observing his analysis of the Apophatic theory and development. Lastly, I point out the characteristics and qualities of Denys's Apophatic theory that differentiates it from other theories. Through these points I hope to suggest a way in which the Spirituality can be improved in Christian Spiritual Theology.

The purpose of this study is to explore the direction of sexual ethics education for pastors. Until recently, Western theological seminaries have not took much concern about sexual ethics education for pastors and theological students. This phenomenon is also shown in Korean theological seminaries. However, pastor’s sexual misconduct is still being revealed in the Korean context. Especially, mega-church pastor’s sexual misconduct is happening, and it gives a shock not only to Christians but also to people in general. In this sense, it seems that the issue of pastor’s sexual misconduct should be dealt in the public sphere without hindering the issue within churches. The discussion of this issue can includes the reasons of pastor’s sexual misconduct and precautionary measures. This sort of action can be considered that Korean churches have the opportunity to a new leap forward. The study consists of four parts. Firstly, we try to look for the reasons of pastor’s sexual misconduct. They include the liberal attitude toward sex, lack of sexual ethics education in theological seminaries, and the causes resulted from the structure of church ministry. Secondly, the present condition of sexual ethics education in Korean theological seminaries is examined. Here, we find the lack of the education which brings students to not have the opportunity to cope with sexual matters. Thirdly, the present condition of sexual ethics education in American theological seminaries is explored. Sexual ethics education in America is being more emphasized than the one in Korea. Fourthly, the direction of sexual ethics education for pastors and theological students is suggested. I hope that this article would be helpful to Korean theological seminaries in terms of sexual ethics education.
