As a scholar and professor, I am not merely interested in knowledge of the past but in today's world. I must tackle issues in the present and help people today. That is why I study and teach history, religion, and culture.
I am a seasoned professional with a background in humanities and business, specializing in New Testament studies and early Christianity. With a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University and experience as a Full Professor at Virginia Union University, I am happy to serve here and now. Proficient in Korean, English, and Spanish, I excel in writing, teaching, meditation, and exercise, with a keen interest in the intersection of the Bible and mental well-being. My career goals include contributing to higher education, research, curriculum design, and community outreach within the humanities and education sectors.
I am a scholar of humanities who takes all humanities matters seriously and a humanist who loves God and nature. I love new ideas and writing books about the Bible, culture, theology, and wisdom. In my first career, I worked for LG for about ten years in Seoul, Panama, and Miami. Then, I quit my job and started a second-career academic journey. Thus far I have published about 20 books, including edited volumes.

I honor and miss my parents who passed away long ago. They are spiritually with me on my journey. I will live like them. They worked diligently, loving their children, and hoping for a better future.
