About
In the spring of 2010 I completed my Ph.D. in Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan. My Ph.D. advisor was Gabriele Boccaccini. My research interests include comparative study of the Enoch literature and the New Testament, the origins and development of Pauline christology, and non-canonical developments in the first and second centuries CE (Adam and Eve traditions, the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, for example). I am particularly interested in the ways in which Jewish literature in the first and second centuries CE indicates points of sociological and ideological intersections between the early Jesus movement and various other Jewish groups, such as scribal communities, synagogues, churches, etc.
