Professional competence areas:
- Ancient Judaism
- Early Christian Identity
- The Epistle to the Hebrews
- The Gospel of John
My research focuses on the interpretation of texts from the New Testament. My prior research has been mainly on the Epistle to the Hebrews and Paul, and it has focused mainly on issues having to do with the development of early Christian identity, the relationship between early Christians and contemporaneous Judaism, different interpretations of what it means to be “the people of God,” and also questions having to do with the relationship between salvation and creation. Currently I am working on the Gospel of John, and my research focuses on the concept of revelation in this text.
