My research draws on anthropological approaches, and I am particularly interested in collective memory theory as it pertains to the &#8220;memories&#8221; contained in writing about Jesus of Nazareth. Since coming to Carleton, and getting to teach outside of my area of expertise, I have become interested in fiction about Jesus (and creative writing in general), theory in the study of religion, and the intertwined histories of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. I have published extensively in all of these areas. My most recent project considers how the earliest Christ-following communities were formed.<\/p>\n<p>I have supervised six Masters Research Essays, and am always happy to contribute where I can.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Research Interests<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Christian Origins<\/li>\n<li>Historical Jesus<\/li>\n<li>Method and Theory in the Study of Religion<\/li>\n<li>Social-Scientific approaches to early Christian Writings<\/li>\n<li>Jesus in Modern Fiction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Selected Publications<\/h3>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"color: #000000;\">\n<div class=\"twelve columns mobile-collapse\">\n<section class=\"content-columns-wrapper\">\n<section class=\"two-col\">\n<div id=\"content-area\">\n<p><i>Religions of a Single God: A Critical Introduction to Monotheisms from Judaism to Baha\u2019i<\/i>\u00a0(Sheffield: Equinox, 2019).<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The Ancient Mediterranean Social World: A Source Book<\/i>\u00a0(Grand Rapids: William B.
