Janina Hiebel

Her doctoral thesis was titled: The vision accounts in the Book of Ezekiel as interrelated narratives: A Redaction-critical and theological study, and her supervisor was Suzanne Boorer.

[1] A book based on her doctoral thesis was subsequently published by De Gruyter in 2015 with the title Ezekiel’s Vision Accounts as Interrelated Narratives: A Redaction-Critical and Theological Study.

Her most recent research explores how themes emerging from exilic biblical texts such as crisis and hope might have ongoing relevance in the modern world.

A reviewer of this volume, Associate Professor Mark A O’Brien op, states that Hiebel “provides a gripping read about women in the Old Testament that will challenge and transform a reader’s understanding of them”.

[8] Heibel coordinates theological education and formation for other Focolare members in Melbourne and the wider Oceanic region.
