Abstract

This study assessed the specific needs of Korean pastors in knowledge and professional skills. Data were gathered through a written questionnaire. A graphic comparison method and other complementary instruments were adopted in terms of a discrepancy model. Among ten subject-matter areas, the results show the area of biblical knowledge as most in need of continuing education. This is followed by evangelism-church growth and biblical-historical-systematic theology. Seventh-day Adventist heritage and pastoral care place adequately in the middle range. Church administration placed higher than church history-comparative religion and biblical languages. Pastors with graduate education gave evidence of greater doctrinal-biblical knowledge and a small advantage in ministerial skills. Motivations and deterrents in regard to continuing education are listed. Nineteen specific recommendations were drawn up from the conclusions.
