David Davage is an Associate Professor at Lund University specializing in Old Testament Exegesis. His research focuses on the Abrahamic religions and their designated texts, investigating how historical contexts shape the understanding of biblical materiality. His work aims to shed new light on significant questions regarding the dating, authorship, and canonization of religious texts, particularly examining the influence of the printing press on these concepts. Through close readings of paratexts in the books of Isaiah and Psalms, he explores the interplay between textual transmission and the social context of the Temple period, ultimately contributing insights on the relevance of these texts in contemporary society and politics. His notable projects include 'Materiality and Meaning in the Hebrew Bible' and 'Research Like Garden Flowers: Study of Formation of the Book of Psalms'.
