Mroczek, Eva

Eva Mroczek is Associate Professor of Classics and Religious Studies and the Simon and Riva Spatz Chair in Jewish Studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her first book, The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity (OUP 2016), discussed how early Jews understood their own sacred texts before the Bible was conceptualized as a closed corpus. Her second book, Tales from the Cave: Losing and Finding the Biblical Past, is a study of ancient and modern manuscript discovery narratives as a religious genre.
