Professor Gregerman focuses on Jewish Studies. He specializes in the study of Ancient Judaism, including both the biblical and rabbinic periods, and the historical relationship between Jews and Christians.
His dissertation was on Late Antique Jewish and Christian explanations for the Romans’ destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE, and the ways that religious writers interpreted this military event in order to support competing claims to chosenness and the biblical promises.
He also studies Scriptural interpretation, and has written articles on rabbinic challenges to biblical ideas of God, and Jewish and Christian disputations over the biblical covenant.
The courses he is teaching include Jewish Traditions, Judaism’s Bible and American Jewish Literature.
