Assistant Professor, Faculty of Religion and Theology, Religious Sources

Personal information

I am Assistant Professor of New Testament and Migration at the School of Religion and Theology of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. My role has a twofold focus:

Within the research team of Contextual Biblical Interpretation, I am a researcher focusing on the dynamics between the New Testament, contextuality, migration, and textual criticism.

At the Center for Theology of Migration, I serve as the coordinator and lecturer. The Center offers a one-year postgraduate program for migrant clergy, and it is also involved in scientific research exploring the multifaceted factors between migration and Christianity in the Netherlands.

I welcome enquiries related to my research interests or concerning my role above.

Research

In my PhD research (published by De Gruyter in the series Arbeiten zur neutestamentlichen Textforschung), I wrote the scholarly history of Codex Vaticanus in New Testament textual criticism, tracing and describing changes, developments, and reception of the perception of the manuscript between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries. Several of my articles also illustrate how I approach texts, manuscripts, and perceptions among scholars from a historical point of view. This work received recognition from international peers, including being granted the prestigious Lautenschläger Award 2025.

In addition, I am interested in the interactions between texts and contexts, migration studies and their application in theology, Bible translation and missiology, and hermeneutics. These have been performed in my teaching and some of my more recent presentations and publications. In the long term, I am working on an interdisciplinary research project exploring manuscripts and migration from various perspectives.

Teaching

My teaching includes courses on all academic levels:

  • BA: Greek I and New Testament.
  • MA: Internship (coordinator), Academic Writing (ReMA), Research Design II (ReMA), The Invention of Religious Tradition (co-lecturer).
  • Postgraduate: Migration Theology, Church History, the Holy Spirit and Ministry, Images of Christ, and Global Christianity (co-lecturer in all the courses).
  • PhD: Research Design (coordinator).
