David W. Kim (PhD, Syd) lectures at Charles Sturt University in Sydney, Australia. He has written many books and articles as well as conference papers, such as ‘Who Authorised You?: Mary and Her Public Actions in Thomas’ (2010), ‘What Shall We Do?: The Community Rules of Thomas in the ‘Fifth Gospel’’(2007), ‘Revivals Awaken Generations’ (2006), ‘the Wind-Blowing Desert: Thomasine Scholarship’(2006), and several book reviews for the Journal of Religious History (2005, 2006 and 2008).

He is interested to teach and research in the areas of Ancient Christian Literature: Nag Hammadi Literature, Gospel of Thomas, Coptic language, Gnosticism, Dead Sea Scrolls, Q tradition, Apostolic Fathers' writtings, NT Studies, and Religions in Late Antiquity. As a further research, David analyses the Coptic manuscript of Tchacos Codex 33-58 for the mystical tradition of Judas Iscariot and a Sethian movement. The project for a ‘Coptic Dictionary of Nag Hammadi Library’ is another one of his recent research activities.
