I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Saint Louis University in the Department of Theological Studies where I am working on one book about the reception of conflicts between biblical narrators in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and another on the reception history of the Bible’s ravens. Before coming to SLU, I taught courses on the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the history of biblical interpretation at Hampden-Sydney College, Valparaiso University, and the University of Virginia.

My research focuses on the history of biblical interpretation and the choices readers make when they are confronted with ethical, practical, or hermeneutic difficulties in scriptural texts.
