My scholarly interests are related to the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world. One main interest is the Greek language, both as a language system in itself and as a tool for understanding the theology of the New Testament. Another main interest is the philosophical traditions of these ancient cultures, in particular Stoicism and the Stoic teacher and former slave Epictetus (ca. AD 50-135). In general I am fascinated by the points of contact between language, history, theology/religion, geography and social aspects—the complex matrix which together makes up what we call culture.
In addition I have publish in papyrology (Greek and Coptic), and have worked on the papyri belonging to the papyrus-collection of the University of Oslo.
