I am an associate professor of New Testament at MF. I research early Christianity and Judaism amid the bustling marketplace of ideas, cultures, and religions of the ancient Mediterranean. I have worked extensively in ancient folk literature, especially fables and biographies as they relate to the "parables" of Jesus and gospels, respectively. This research is exemplified by my book, The Fables of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke: A New Foundation for the Study of Parables (2021). It was awarded the Manfred Lautenschläger Prize (2022), has been the basis of a major three-year research project in Germany (2022-2025), and a panel review at the British New Testament Society (2024).
I am particularly interested in transdisciplinary scholarship, whether bridging Classics and Biblical Studies or utilizing frameworks such as digital humanities, counterfactual history, posthumanism, and Animal Studies. I take up some of these topics in my forthcoming book, Animals in the New Testament: Perspectives from Animal Studies and Ancient Contexts (2025).
Prospective PhD students interested in the New Testament and Ancient Christianity are encouraged to contact me.
