Curriculum Vitae

I offer a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses on the religions of the late ancient Mediterranean. 

My research is aimed, broadly, at re-examining the place of early Christians and early Christian discourse in the intellectual and cultural transformation of the late ancient Mediterranean. My recent work has been focused on two related topics: 1) the emergence of Christianity and Neoplatonism as distinct intellectual traditions in the third and fourth centuries C.E. and 2) the intersections of philosophical and theological discourses and the politics of late Roman imperialism.
