I am researching the stories about Caleb and the Giants, in particular the story of the scouting expedition in Numbers 13-14. I contend that these biblical Giants are an invention of the third or second century B.C. and are derived from Greek legends about ancient and exotic Giants.

Jesus the illusionist: The Metamorphosis and Invisibility of Jesus as signs of Divinity in the New Testament. This study will concentrate upon several passages which describe Jesus being perceived in an unusual manner, or else taking on a changed form. I will compare these accounts with other ancient literature, as well as with accounts of beliefs about invisibility and metamorphosis that existed in the ancient world. Through comparing the Gospel accounts with similar accounts in other traditions I hope to contribute to a better understanding of how the Gospel accounts function theologically and how they would be read by contemporary readers.
