Assistant Professor
Rodrigo J. Morales [Ph.D., New Testament, Duke University, 2007; M.T.S., Biblical Studies, University of Notre Dame, 2002] specializes in the interpretation of the New Testament, particularly the letters of Paul in their Second Temple Jewish context and as received in the early history of interpretation. He has a special interest in integrating historical study of ancient texts (both biblical and patristic) with contemporary theological interpretation of Scripture. Recent articles have appeared in Nova et Vetera, the Zeitschrift für die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft and Biblische Zeitschrift, and his first monograph, The Spirit and the Restoration of Israel: New Exodus and New Creation Motifs in Galatians, will be published this summer by Mohr Siebeck. His current research focuses on the connection between the sacraments, particularly baptism and Eucharist, and participation in Paul’s soteriology.
