Tony Keddie
Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I received my B.A. in Religion from Temple University, M.A.R. (Master of Arts in Religion) in Second Temple Judaism from Yale Divinity School, and Ph.D. in Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean from The University of Texas at Austin before joining the faculty of Classical, Near Eastern, and Religious Studies at UBC in 2017.
I am a specialist in Second Temple Judaism and the New Testament with a particular interest in developing critical theoretical approaches that integrate the study of archaeological and literary sources, critically examine religion’s roles in legitimating power and instigating resistance, and recenter the experiences of marginalized persons that have been occluded by our surviving literary sources.
I am also interested in the reception of the New Testament, particularly in contemporary U.S. politics. During my graduate training, I enjoyed being involved in archaeological excavations in Israel and Italy—particularly, the excavations of the synagogue in Ostia, Italy.
