His current research focuses on constructions of prophethood and revelatory knowledge, especially among communities and intellectuals in late antique Syro-Mesopotamia. He is broadly interested in ancient forms of Judaism and early Christianity in both the Roman and Sasanian Persian Empires. He teaches courses that focus on Christians and Jews as part of their ancient broader contexts with the goal of introducing students to critical questions in the field of Religious Studies. He will be teaching "Defense against the Dark Arts in the Ancient World" this coming Fall.
