Fr Bruno is the Vice Regent of Blackfriars Hall and Course Director for the MTh in Applied Theology. He teaches Old Testament Biblical Languages and also serves as the Director of Studium Studies at Blackfriars. He completed his Licence in Sacred Scripture at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in 2014 and earned his Doctorate from the University of Cambridge in 2018. His doctoral research focused on a socio-anthropological analysis of the Book of Judges, exploring identity and social allegiances in biblical texts. His ongoing work addresses how concepts of identity shape the formation of biblically authoritative texts, particularly in the context of the Deuteronomistic History. Fr Bruno's research interests center on the socio-cultural contextualization of biblical texts, with a particular focus on the Hebrew Bible’s Prophets. He is also interested in methodologies of biblical interpretation, aiming to provide a historically informed foundation that connects theological inquiries with archaeological and epigraphical insights.
