Main research areas
The history of the interpretation and hermeneutics od the Bible (Old and New Testament as well as Apocrypha) in Jewish and Christian tradition and in modern Biblical studies as a part of religious and intellectual history.
Research on Philo's biblical interpretation in the context of Hellenistic philosophy, ancient Judaism and early Christianity. Annotated translations of Philo's works.
Emperor Julian the Apostate (b. 331/332, d. 363) is an emblematic figure of late antiquity since it was under his rule (361-363) that a last attempt was made to revive paganism in the Christian age inaugurated by Emperor Constantine. The aim of my research is to study Julian's oeuvre, the religious debates of the fourth century and late antique intellectual history in general, with important consequences also for our time.
Emperor Julian the Apostate (b. 331/332, d. 363) is an emblematic figure of late antiquity since it was under his rule (361-363) when a last attempt was made to revive paganism in the Christian age inaugurated by Emperor Constantine. The conflict of paganism and Christianity, and their relation in general has been in the focus of the interest of subsequent generations, including not only researchers but also artists, theologians and philosophers. Julian's Hungarian reception has been an unduly neglected field and in my project I have undertaken to make a thorough survey of it.
The reception of Philo of Alexandria and of Hellenistic Jewish Thought in the Hungarian history of philosophy as well as in Hungarian research on Jewish and Christian thught.
