'''Seyoon Kim''' ({{Korean|hangul=김세윤}}; born 30 September 1946) is a [[Biblical studies|biblical scholar]], associate dean for the Korean Doctor of Ministry program and professor of New Testament at [[Fuller Theological Seminary]].
==Biography== He was born in Chonbuk, [[South Korea]], and was educated at the [[University of Tübingen]] and the [[University of Manchester]]. He specializes in Jesus studies, Pauline studies, New Testament Christology, Jesus and Paul. He studied with [[F. F. Bruce]].
==Contribution== Seyoon Kim is best known for ''The Origin of Paul's Gospel'', in which he argues that all of [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]]'s identity and [[Pauline Christianity|theology]] come from his [[Conversion of Paul the Apostle|experience on the Damascus Road]]. For example, when Jesus said, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?", the way Jesus identifies with his people leads to the idea of [[union with Christ]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Unthank|first1=Stephen|title=The Seeds of Union with Christ|url=http://www.alliancenet.org/placefortruth/column/theology-on-the-go/the-seeds-of-union-with-christ|website=Place for Truth|publisher=[[Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals]]|access-date=1 October 2015}}</ref>
