Dr. Rahn's research interests span multiple interconnected fields within theological studies. She specializes in historical research on emotions and empathy, examining transformation processes in the history of emotions as they relate to religious contexts. Her work on Psalm and Psalter exegesis explores how these biblical texts have been interpreted throughout history and their relevance to contemporary theological questions. She also investigates the role of the Old Testament in theological discourse and interdisciplinary contexts, as well as the history of reception and impact of biblical texts in liturgy, art, and literature.
Dr. Rahn's recent publications demonstrate her engagement with critical issues at the intersection of biblical interpretation and contemporary religious practice. Her work addresses important questions about how biblical texts have been used in ways that either challenge or reinforce problematic interpretations. Her scholarly approach combines historical analysis with contemporary theological reflection.
As a lecturer at the University of Basel, Dr. Rahn contributes to the education of theology students within an institution that emphasizes learning in dialogue with students from diverse backgrounds. The Faculty of Theology provides a familiar, learning-friendly atmosphere that encourages personal engagement with subject matter and self-reflection.
