Dr. Sanders' research focuses on the intersection of language, religion, and culture in ancient contexts, particularly examining the development of Hebrew language and literature within broader Near Eastern frameworks. His work bridges textual analysis with archaeological evidence to understand religious practices and intellectual history of the ancient world.
