Biography

Deborah Forger is a research fellow specializing in Judaic Studies and Middle East Studies. She examines the intersection of embodiment theory and sensory analysis within ancient Judaism and early Jewish-Christian relations. Her work explores how Jews and Christians differentiated their views of God’s corporeal and non-corporeal attributes and how these distinctions informed scriptural hermeneutics. Forger's research has been published in various journals, addressing themes such as antisemitism, visibility in early Jewish-Christian contexts, and pedagogical practices for teaching about the Jewish Jesus in the digital age. She is committed to understanding the complexities of the interactions between these two religious communities and how historical perspectives can inform contemporary theological discourse.
