Jin Ki Hwang joined the Fuller faculty in 2010 as assistant professor of New Testament for the School of Theology’s Korean Doctor of Ministry (KDMin) program, and is now also assistant dean. Hwang had previously served as the program’s associate director and theological mentor since 2005, as well as teaching as an adjunct professor. He moved to the U.S. from South Korea in 1999, coming to Fuller shortly thereafter and completing his PhD in New Testament in 2006.

Hwang’s current research includes exploring the self-identity of early Christians, as well as a book about the pastoral leadership of the apostle Paul as it can relate to Korean pastors. His recently published “Mimesis” and Apostolic “Parousia” in 1 Corinthians 4 and 5: An Apologetic-Mimetic Interpretation is a study of Paul’s calls to imitation and his self-understanding of his own authority. Additionally, Hwang was a translator of Romans and 1-2 Corinthians for The 21st Korean Bible.

He is a member of the Association for Doctor of Ministry Education, The Alliance of Scholars Concerned about Korea, and the Society of Biblical Literature, The New Testament Society of Korea, and the Korea Evangelical Society of New Testament Studies. Since 2008, he has served as lead pastor for the English ministry at the Lord’s Community Church in Hacienda Heights, California.
