Welcome to two new St Andrews colleagues

WELCOME TO DR. JUDITH WOLFE AND DR. SANDRA HÜBENTHAL, two new colleagues in the School of the Divinity at the University of St. Andrews.

Judith comes to us from Oxford University and has just taken up a Lectureship in Theology and the Arts here. Her research currently focuses on theology and literature, which special interests in epistemology, eschatology, and the Inklings, and she is the editor of The Journal of Inkling Studies. But she also did her undergraduate work at the Hebrew University, where she studied with, among others, Rachel Elior. So she has a considerable interest in Second Temple Judaism and related matters.

Sandra comes from Basel University and is here as a Teaching Fellow in New Testament Studies for 2014-15 (this post). Her research interests include the New Testament and social memory theory, and biblical traditions and economic thought. You can read more about her work in this post at the Jesus blog.

Judith and Sandra, delighted to have you both here.
