Associate Professor of New Testament in the Department of Theology at Creighton University

After undergraduate study at Washington and Lee University and early graduate work at Yale University Divinity School and Columbia University School of Social Work and following a stint in the US Peace Corps as well as several years working in international development, she returned to graduate school at the Catholic University of America to pursue a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies. Her research interests focus primarily on the Gospel of John and secondarily on other New Testament and early Christian history areas. She has authored, coauthored, or coedited six books, including Gift upon Gift: Covenant through Word in the Gospel of John, God’s Promise: Covenant Relationship in John, Johannine Ethics: The Moral World of the Gospel and the Epistles of John (with Christopher Skinner), Interpreting the Gospel and Letters of John: An Introduction, and Interpreting the New Testament: An Introduction (both with Francis J. Moloney). She has also published numerous articles and popular studies on the Johannine Literature as well as other texts of the New Testament. She is currently working on a monograph on the role of women in the Gospel of John called Apostles to the Apostles. Her most recent publication is Come and See: Invitations and Imperatives to Discipleship in the Gospel of John. She also writes on the theology and letters of Paul and the Catholic Epistles. She loves traveling and facilitating study internationally, particularly in the lands of the Bible.
