Max Lee (773) 244-5258
Assistant Professor of New Testament

Max Lee has been a member of the seminary faculty since 2006. Prior to arriving at North Park, he taught at Wheaton College for three years and at Westmont College for one year. He received his bachelor of arts in English literature from the University of California, Berkeley, his master of divinity from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, and his doctorate from Fuller Theological Seminary. His dissertation will be published in the WUNT series by Mohr-Siebeck in 2008 under the working title Moral Transformation in Greco-Roman Philosophy of Mind. Dr. Lee's primary research area is the interaction of the Apostle Paul and his letter recipients within their Greco-Roman philosophical, cultural, and literary environment. His next major research project will be on the topic of divine and human correspondence in Philo and Paul. In the meanwhile, he will also be writing a short commentary on the Book of Revelation for the revised one volume Baker Commentary on the Bible and an introduction to research trends in Pauline studies for Paternoster Press. Ordained as a Baptist minister, Dr. Lee has always tried to do his research with an eye for its theological application to the life and ministry of the church. He has served as a pastor, preacher, college staff, and youth leader within mostly an Asian American congregational context, and also as a short term missionary to Japan. When he is not teaching or writing, he makes a heroic effort to run the treadmill at the university gym, read widely and leisurely at the local Starbucks, and bike along Lake Michigan when the Chicago weather allows for it. Currently, he, his wife Su, and his two sons Zachary and Jonathan live amidst loyal Chicago Cubs fanatics on the north side of the city, maintaining their fidelity to teams in California and their longing to visit Yosemite National Park as often as humanly possible.
