He teaches in the Divinity School, History Department and Religious Studies Department at Vanderbilt University. He also serves as the Scholar-in-Residence at Christ Presbyterian Church. Within NIFW, he is the Gotham Co-Teacher and NIFW Senior Advisor, Program Content. He has lived and was educated on three continents – Asia (Seoul), America (Yale, Princeton), and Europe (Cambridge) – and cares deeply about how God’s justice and shalom is manifested in our days of globalization and hyper-pluralisms. He is convinced that pursuit of racial justice is a key area where global evangelicals can apply the gospel more robustly in their daily life. He lives in Nashville with his wife Miky and their son, Christian.
