Annette Y. Reed
Annette Yoshiko Reed is a Professor in the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies and Program in Religious Studies at New York University. After undergraduate studies at McGill University and graduate studies at Harvard Divinity School (M.T.S. 1999) and Princeton University (M.A. 2001; Ph.D. 2002), Prof. Reed taught at McMaster University (2003-2007) and the University of Pennsylvania (2007-2017). Her research spans Second Temple Judaism, early Christianity, and Jewish/Christian relations in Late Antiquity. Particular areas of interest are angelology and demonology; the redeployment of Second Temple Jewish traditions in late antique Judaism and Christianity; and the parallels and overlaps between Jewish and Christian self-definition in Late Antiquity. In much of her work, these issues are addressed through a focus on biblical interpretation -- broadly construed to include the composition and reception of parabiblical literature, the transmission and translation of biblical texts, the formation of canons, and the creation of historiographical systems based on biblical narratives. She is the coordinator of the Philadelphia Seminar of Christian Origins as well as a member of the Editorial Board of the book series Texts and Studies in Ancient Judaism (TSAJ), published by Mohr Siebeck. She is currently working on two monographs - one on the origins of Jewish angelology and demonology, and the other on the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies and the history of "Jewish-Christianity."
