Her preaching and teaching attends to the Old Testament’s contribution to a robust New Testament faith. Her research interests lie in Israel’s entry into, life in, and exile from the land and she is currently writing on the book of Jeremiah, noting how the insights of trauma studies deepen our engagement with its message.
