Research Interests

Professor Vanderhooft's research interests revolve around the Hebrew Scriptures, especially the Former and Latter Prophets. Historical, cultural, theological, and comparative analyses of ancient Israel's literature dominate his scholarship. The relationship between Israel and the ancient empires of Assyria and Babylonia forms another focus of research.
