Bio

Katherine E. Brown is an alumni of Wesley Theological Seminary and an ordained deacon in The United Methodist Church. Her interest in close reading of authoritative texts, developed as an attorney with the United States Department of Justice, was significantly furthered through her studies at Wesley (M.Div. 2006) and The Catholic University of America (Ph.D. 2018). Her research focus is on the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible, particularly the ways in which those texts demonstrate that engagement with text is understood as life-giving for communities of faith, whether the community is defined as ancient Israel, the early church, or modern congregations.
