Dr. Hein's research focuses on Old Testament studies, particularly the Elijah narratives, intertextuality, and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Her work delves into the literary and theological aspects of biblical texts, with a special interest in the Book of Malachi and the reception of Elijah in Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. She employs literary criticism and rhetorical analysis to explore allusion and intertextuality in the Bible.
Her recent publications examine the role of Elijah in biblical theology and the rhetorical use of allusion in the Chronicles. These works highlight a trend towards interdisciplinary approaches combining literary theory, historical criticism, and reception history in biblical scholarship.
