Her textbook A Contemporary Introduction to the Bible (2021) recontextualizes sacred texts within imperial histories.
As editor-in-chief of Biblical Interpretation, she shapes contemporary approaches to biblical studies. Her research trends emphasize feminist critiques of masculinity studies, reception history of biblical figures, and interdisciplinary methods.
