Dr. Ryan M. Armstrong teaches Religious Studies and Biblical Hebrew at Oklahoma State University. His research focuses on biblical literature and language, its Ancient Near Eastern context, and the history of its interpretation. He is the author of The Book of Job in Wonderland: Making (Non)sense of Job's Mediators (Oxford University Press, 2024), which explores mediation in the book of Job and the history of its interpretation by rabbis, theologians, philosophers, and artists. Along the way, it draws from a comparative-literary analysis of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. He has written on Hebrew Poetry and Narrative, Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, New Testament Canonization, and Jewish and Christian interpretations of the Bible.
