He is completing a new book on New Testament theology and working on a new project on the historical Jesus. Dr. Kim also published his first Korean book: Question Mark to the Bible (Seoul, Korea: Dongyeon, 2014). Beyond biblical studies, he enjoys reading the Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing) by Laotzi and loves to write poems.Dr. Kim has a passion for human transformation, rooted in self-knowledge and self-criticism. Traveling many Latin American countries during his business career, he learned a great deal about cultural diversity and the need of human solidarity. With a new vocation of theological education, he now asks: What does it mean to live in this world in relation to each other (i.e., meaning of the Other -- which resonates Emmanuel Levinas' "the face of the other," Paul Ricoeur's inter-subjective narrative identity, or Jacques Derrida's "relationless relation"), and How can we do theology in our thoughts and deeds, while moving pointedly away from individualism? How can we read biblical stories with each other when we differ? Kim has his personal, academic web site at www.youaregood.com and his blog at http://somachristoupaul.blogspot.com
