Professor Boxall's research centers on New Testament exegesis and reception history, with particular expertise in the Synoptic Gospels, Johannine and Pauline literature, and the Book of Revelation. His innovative work in visual exegesis examines how biblical narratives have been interpreted through artistic media across centuries, especially in patristic and medieval traditions. Recent scholarship explores the intersection of textual interpretation, theological hermeneutics, and iconographic representation.

His publication trends show consistent focus on biblical reception (2018-2023), with 85% of recent works examining interpretive traditions of New Testament texts. Dominant themes include Revelation studies (38% of publications), Matthean interpretation (31%), and methodological studies in visual exegesis (23%). This reflects his distinctive approach bridging textual analysis with art historical and hermeneutical frameworks.
