| Brief Bio: | ||
| Broadly interested in the historical and comparative study of religion, Matt Jackson-McCabe specializes particularly in the critical study of early Christianity in relation to early Jewish and Greco-Roman societies and cultures. He is especially interested in the process by which Christians came to differentiate themselves and their culture from Jews and Judaism, and in how the scholarly understanding of that process has continued to evolve from the Enlightenment period through the present day.
His publications include the books Jewish Christianity: The Making of the Christianity-Judaism Divide (Yale University Press, 2020); Logos and Law in the Letter of James (Brill, 2001; pb edition SBL, 2010); and Jewish Christianity Reconsidered (ed.; Fortress, 2007). He is currently working among other things on a new commentary on the Letter of James for the Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries series (under contract with Yale University Press). He joined CSU's then-department of Religious Studies in January, 2008 as its Chairperson, having taught previously at Niagara University (2000-07), DePaul University (1999-2000), and Case Western Reserve University (1998-99). | ||
