His research centers on the theological and linguistic interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, particularly within its ancient Near Eastern context. He specializes in the exegesis of key theological concepts such as the 'knowledge of good and evil' and pneumatology across the Testaments. Fluent in multiple ancient languages—including Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian, Ugaritic, Egyptian, and Greek—he integrates linguistic, archaeological, and literary methods into his scholarship.
His recent publications reflect a strong engagement with both primary textual analysis and secondary theological discourse. The 2021 monograph A Theocentric Interpretation of הדעת טוב ורע advances a divine administration model of moral knowledge, while his forthcoming contribution to the T&T Clark Encyclopedia of Christian Theology demonstrates his interdisciplinary reach. His book reviews in Journal for the Study of the Old Testament showcase his critical engagement with contemporary scholarship on the ancient Near East and biblical reception history.
