Dr. Charles G. Kim, Jr. is Assistant Professor of Theology and Classical Languages at Saint Louis University in a joint position in the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Philosophy and Letters. Dr. Kim’s academic research focuses on St. Augustine of Hippo and his work as pastor in North Africa. His first monograph, The Way of Humility: St. Augustine’s Theology of Preaching (Catholic University Press, forthcoming, 2023) will be published soon exploring how Augustine’s encounter with the Word made flesh transformed his understanding of communication in action and rhetoric. He also has a deep passion for the teaching and study of classical languages, his primary academic vocation. This led to a project translating some previously untranslated portions of patristic commentaries on the Psalms for the Popular Patristics Series entitled Reading the Psalms with the Fathers (St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press, forthcoming, 2024). He is also a translator of one of the last untranslated portions of Augustine’s corpus, De Unico Baptismo, which will be published as part of the largest English translation project in the Works of St. Augustine Series (New City Press, forthcoming). As an Associate Fellow in Christian Tradition, Dr. Kim hopes to share his passion for the Great Tradition of the church and the traditional languages of theological inquiry. He will do so in part as a senior review editor for Greystone’s Texts and Studies series.
