His research examines religious dynamics in late antiquity, particularly interactions between Christian and non-Christian traditions. Key contributions include analysis of Augustine's critique of Manichaeism in the 'Contra Faustum' and the historical significance of the Chester Beatty Kephalaia manuscripts.

• 'Christianity vs. Semi-Christianity in the "Contra Faustum"' (June 8, 2015)
