Dr. Job Jindo
Gruss Scholar in Residence
Dr. Job Y. Jindo received a B.A. in the Bible and Talmud from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, in 1997. In 1999, he earned a M.A. in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University, United States. He then completed a Ph.D. in the Department of Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in 2006, with a dissertation entitled: “Biblical Metaphor Reconsidered: A Cognitive Approach to Poetic Metaphor in Biblical Prophecy” (awarded distinction). His research interests include: ancient cosmology, poetics of ancient literature, biblical law, New Testament in light of rabbinic literature, Jewish Biblical Exegesis, and history of modern biblical scholarship. While in residency at NYU, his research focuses on the cognitive approach of the poetics and the Weltanschauung of ancient literature as set forth in his dissertation.
