In May 2017, she received her Ph.D. with distinction in New Testament and Early Christianity at Drew University with a concentration in Women’s and Gender Studies. Her research foci include: New Testament/early Christianity, early Judaism, biblical narrative/storytelling, and the Bible and theory. For five years (2012-2017), Sarah led a Rosh Hodesh group through Moving Traditions, which focused on the impact of gender and gender theory on Jewish teens. When Sarah is not teaching, she is working on her book manuscript: Roasting Rome: Humor, Resistance, and Jewish Cultural Persistence in the Book of Revelation.
