The education of missiology in this globalize era through the opening of a missiology course in Asbury Theological Seminary
This study of Asbury Missiology is an analysis of the theological characteristics of missiology. Through this analysis, the goal is to try to understand the direction where the American missiology is heading, to offer directives to help those who wish to study missiology in the United States, to compare the course of the Korean missiology and that of Asbury’s. Lastly, the goal is to look into which direction the course on Korean missiology, one of the categories of theological education in this global era, should be established and how it should be expanded. The first chapter is about understanding why look into this issue through Asbury Theological Seminary. The second chapter will look into the history of Asbury Theological Seminary and its theological tradition. The third chapter is about Asbury’s faculty and its missiology courses. In the fourth chapter, the characteristics of the curriculum of Asbury Missiology will be evaluated and the new alternative proposal of Stanley will be introduced and evaluated. In the fifth chapter, I will present the awaiting task that the Korean missiology academic world should solve, and finish up this text.
