Joshua Garroway serves as the Sol and Arlene Bronstein Professor of Judaeo-Christian Studies at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) in Los Angeles. He holds a Ph.D. from Yale University's Religious Studies Department and rabbinic ordination from HUC-JIR's Cincinnati campus.
His research focuses on the intersection of Jewish and Christian thought during antiquity, particularly examining:
- Early Christian interpretation of Jewish scripture
- Pauline literature and its Jewish context
- Second Temple period Jewish-Christian relations
- Comparative biblical exegesis across religious traditions
Dr. Garroway's scholarship reveals how ancient interpreters understood biblical texts and how these interpretations shaped religious thought. His work spans analysis of festivals like Sukkot, biblical figures like Balaam and Melchizedek, and religious practices like kosher dietary laws. Through meticulous examination of ancient texts, he illuminates the complex historical relationship between Judaism and Christianity during their formative periods.
His publications demonstrate how ancient biblical interpretation continues to inform contemporary religious understanding and interfaith dialogue, highlighting both points of connection and divergence between Jewish and Christian traditions.
