Research Interests


My doctoral work focused on the narrative known as the Priestly History (P), now part of the Pentateuch. In my dissertation, I argue that P reflects a radical commitment to Yahweh's sovereignty. This commitment permeates the work, informing everything from its storytelling technique to its conception of human agency and femininity. As Perilman Postdoctoral Fellow at Duke, I aim to revise and publish my dissertation as a book while beginning a new project on divine sovereignty in the books of Ezekiel and Job.
