His publications, including monographs from Oxford and Cambridge University Press, analyze prophetic poetry, biblical commentaries, and socio-political metaphors. Articles examine specific passages like Isaiah 15–16's Moabite catastrophe, Haggai's temple-focused prophecy, and Amos 7:10–17's royal-prophetic tensions.
Extracurricular interests include hiking, birding, gardening, and board games.
