Learning to Build Biblical Principles for Life and Stewardship

What makes this course distinct is its focus on teaching you how to study and apply Scripture — not just handing you conclusions. Rather than simply receiving pre-made answers, you’ll learn how to draw out biblical principles and develop real-world application points for yourself.

By the time you complete this course, you’ll have the tools and confidence to continue building these principles well beyond the scope of this class — and even beyond the topic of personal finance.

Led by Dr. Daniel E. Kim, Professor of Old Testament and Semitics at Talbot School of Theology, this course is designed to deepen your love for God’s Word and to inspire faithful stewardship of the resources He has entrusted to you.

After majoring in Business as an undergraduate at Biola, he worked as an accountant and financial analyst before pursuing the pastorate and biblical studies. Dr. Kim maintained a connection to the business world during his theological education, serving as a corporate controller and later opening a franchise business.

His Old Testament research interests include the Historical Books of the Old Testament, the Targumim, Mesopotamian literature, and methods of biblical exegesis.

Having been both a pastor and elder, he has a fervent heart for the local church, and in particular for special needs ministries. His sincere hope is to see both business professionals and vocational pastors join together for the sake of God’s Kingdom.
