Research summary
My thesis primarily focuses on the language of righteousness vis-à-vis messiah in the ancient Jewish- and early Christian-texts, and how they relate to one another. More broadly, the subject of my research includes messianism at the turn of the millennium in general and Pauline Christology in particular.
