I teach at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley. My courses, available from the link above, focus on Jewish and Christian scriptures, economics and the Bible, gender and sexuality in biblical interpretation, and the historical Jesus. I am also piloting a course called "Texting God" on the ways technologies and modes of communication affect the interpretation of scripture.

My research focuses on the economic beliefs and practices of early Jews and Christians, and how these concerns of daily life shaped their religious ideation. I also am working on a new edition of one of the earliest manuscritps of the twelve minor prophets we have, which was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1950s. A link to my research is available above.
