Webpage

Jonathan Henry has been a Postgraduate Research Associate at Princeton University’s Department of Religion since February of 2020. His research and teaching interests include the New Testament; early Christianity and Judaism in late antiquity; epigraphy and memorialization in the Roman world; sciences in ancient Jewish and Christian thought; and rituals, especially those designed to deal with human trauma or death. He earned a doctorate from Princeton University in the area of Ancient Mediterranean Religion, with a special focus on early Christian and Jewish religious organization, ideas, and conflicts in the Roman context. His dissertation, “Exorcists: The Origins, Roles, and Lives of Late Antique Exorcism Specialists,” describes the tangible political, organizational, and cultural impact made by beliefs about unseen demonic forces at work in the human world. He received the Department of Religion’s Graduate Teaching Award for 2017–2018. Forthcoming publications include work on the Acts of Thomas, demons and exorcism in the world of the New Testament, and the Christianization of Tiberias and the Galilee.
