Objective

My research explores the Hebrew Bible using historical linguistics, onomastics, and ancient Near Eastern cultural context to uncover the theological architecture embedded in the text. My work focuses on how language, temple structure, and narrative patterns reveal earlier conceptions of divine authority, priesthood, and the relationship between masculine and feminine aspects of the divine that later traditions often compressed or reinterpreted.
