“Christianity
has a long history of defining itself over and against
an assumed defective Judaism. I am committed to raising
awareness of the caricatures of Judaism that permeate
biblical preaching and teaching and perpetuate Christian
anti-Judaism. I believe that the integrity of the Christian
Gospel is at stake.”

“I
want our students to be passionate, creative,
responsible interpreters of the Scriptures,
knowledgeable of both ancient contexts and
contemporary audiences.”

“The
central focus of my teaching is to make the language
and images of the Scriptures a vital part of
Christian life and spirituality. I am passionate
about promoting
mutual understanding between Jews and Christians,
and I am committed to relating my work as a scholar
and teacher to parish life and ministry.” |
