In March of 2004, my book Border Lines: The Partition of Judaeo-Christianity was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in a series that I co-edit called Divinations, Rereading Late Ancient Religions.
I am currently working on a book for Fordham University Press entitled (tentatively): Midrash, Allegory, Theology: An Essay in Revision and another, somewhat longer term project for the University of Chicago Press entited: Exit Plato: Rhetoric, Politics, and Sex in the Ancient City.
