Teixeira’s research focuses on the poetics and narrative function of the Book of Tobit, Jerome’s Vulgate translation techniques, and the interplay between early Christian texts and medieval Jewish thought. His recent work explores the Hebraeus Londini manuscript and its theological implications.

His publications bridge Vulgate philology and Deuterocanonical theology, with a particular emphasis on ascetic ideals, linguistic reception, and narrative criticism in pre-Constantinian and medieval contexts.

Teixeira contributes to collaborative projects like the DFG-Project: Jerome’s Vulgata Version of Tobit and Its Reception in the Jewish Medieval Text 'Hebraeus Londini' and teaches courses on Old Testament anthropology, Wisdom literature, and biblical exegesis methods.
