Dr. Boswell's research investigates how classical heritage shaped early Christian discourse in late antiquity, with particular focus on intellectual conflicts between pagan and Christian thinkers. His first book manuscript analyzes the polemical exchange between Emperor Julian and Cyril of Alexandria, while his second project explores connections between ancient physics and Christian resurrection theology through examination of material transformation paradigms.
His recent publications demonstrate sustained engagement with Emperor Julian's legacy, revealing patterns in how late antique thinkers deployed narrative strategies, biblical exegesis, and classical philosophy to advance theological positions. These works collectively illuminate the adaptive reuse of Hellenic intellectual frameworks within emerging Christian doctrinal formulations.
