Current Research
Dr. Schipper’s research focuses on the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). He is particularly interested in the Former Prophets (Joshua-2 Kings) and the portrayal of disability in the Hebrew Bible and related ancient Near Eastern texts. He serves as the co-chair of the “Disability Studies and Healthcare in the Bible and Near East” session of the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). His current book project examines the function of parables in the Hebrew Bible. He received the SBL’s Regional Scholars Award for 2007 for a paper on parables.
