Research Profile
I am interested in ancient medicine, philosophy, esp. the question of religion and medicine. In particular, I am interested in what we can learn when these texts are read side by side with the New Testament writings. A second major interest is also ancient art and numismatics (coins). With Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas Bauer from the University of Erfurt I am researching the Old Latin Versions (Vetus Latina Beuron) of the Gospels of Luke and Matthew.
Teaching Profile
I regularly teach doctoral and seminary courses as a faculty member of San Francisco Theological Seminar and the Graduate Theological Union. Courses include introductory classes in Paul, the Gospels and New Testament exegesis for seminarians and specialized doctoral seminars dealing with New Testament and ancient medical or philosophical texts, history of religion or ancient art and numismatics.
