I am Yung Suk Kim, PhD (Vanderbilt University), MDiv (McCormick Theological Seminary), pleased to announce the official launch of Stone Mountain Consulting and Research. I am founder of this firm. After more than 20 years as a professor and the author of more than 20 books and editor of 4 books, I have realized that the most "exceptional" scholarship is that which creates new needs for its readers. My journey—from the corporate world at LG in Latin America and Miami, Florida, to the halls of Vanderbilt (PhD) and Virginia Union (Full Professor)—has taught me that academic work is at its best when it is conscientious, interdisciplinary, and transformative. See my scholarly journey reflection. See also the Endorsements.
"Stone Mountain" reflects my philosophy: scholarship should be as strong and prevalent as stone, yet as calm and expansive as a mountain.
CONSULTING:
Through this firm, I am offering specialized, bilingual (English/Korean) consulting in:
PhD Coaching: Navigating the "tightrope" of dissertation research and defense.
Publication Strategy: Guiding authors through the proposal and peer-review process with top-tier presses.
Interdisciplinary Lectures: Bridging Biblical Studies with Cognitive Science, Psychology, and Justice.
I invite my colleagues and students to reach out. Let us work together to move away from individualism and toward a scholarship of human solidarity.
LECTURE EVENTS:
I offer 10 unique topics and arguments that provide informative and challenging insights for both contemporary life and scholarship. Please see the Service Menu for details.
I am also comfortable addressing any topic within biblical studies and the New Testament, with particular expertise in Pauline studies.
RESEARCH:
I will continue to research and publish books and articles at the crossroads of biblical studies and related fields. I have 10 ongoing book projects.
