Ruthanne Brooks is a second-year DPhil student in Theology & Religion (Hebrew Bible) at St. John’s College under the supervision of Professor Hindy Najman, supported by the AHRC and Clarendon. Previously, Ruthanne received a BA (summa cum laude) in Bible & Theology from Malone University, an MA (summa cum laude) in Biblical Languages and Old Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and an MSt (distinction) in Classical Hebrew Studies at Oxford (Wolfson College).
