Research Profile

My research lies in the New Testament and its related issues, which includes the Greek language, the text of the NT and its background. I completed two major works in the past ten years, the Dialogue of the Synoptics with Paul [in German] and the New Testament Greek-Chinese Lexicon, in which all occurrences of every individual Greek lemma are considered and categorized into different definitions of meaning. Currently, I am exploring a new dimension in understanding the Historical Jesus with a psychological perspective.

Teaching Profile

My teaching includes most topics and issues relating to the New Testament. I have been teaching the Greek language, Introduction to the New Testament, Exegeses of individual Scriptures, Extra-Canonical Documents, and also supervising some doctoral candidates on various themes. Upon request of students, un-offered courses can also been arranged according to their needs.
