Primary Area: Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity
Biography
Garrett Haddock recently finished his PhD in Theology from the University of Notre Dame. While at ND, his work focused on Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity with a specialization in Hebrew Bible/Early Judaism. His primary research interests revolve around the Priestly portions of the Pentateuch, with broader interests in Ancient Israelite religion, pentateuchal formation, and early scriptural interpretation. His dissertation focused on the narrative texts in Exodus–Numbers that deal with the start of cultic service at the Tabernacle (Exodus 40, Leviticus 8–10, Numbers 7). Using the presence of achronology as a heuristic, the project posited the role of scribes in the thematic arrangement of these Tabernacle texts and the surrounding Priestly material. He and his wife, Andi, live with their two young children in South Bend.
