Eung Chun Park sees himself primarily as a New Testament scholar whose engagement with the text has both historical and theological dimensions. Conscious of the inevitable fact that history is written with anything but neutrality, he is interested in discerning what existential realities, understood theologically or otherwise, influenced the perspectives of the New Testament writers, with which they interpreted, reshaped, and transmitted the faith traditions they inherited from those who preceded them.

He is the author of The Mission Discourse in Matthew's Interpretation (Tubingen: Mohr-Siebeck, 1995) and Either Jew or Gentile: Paul's Unfolding Theology of Inclusivity (Louisville & London: Westminster John Knox, 2003). He also wrote Rooted and Grounded in Love (Louisville: PCUSA, 2001), which was commissioned as the bible study material for the 213th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 2001.

Currently, he is working on a book project on the soteriology of the Gospel of Matthew, in which he explores Matthew's notion of salvation as a distinctive voice in the New Testament that is significantly different from that of Paul.

He is an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and also has a congenial relationship with Korean Presbyterian Churches in the US and in Korea
