Revista de Ciencias de las Religiones, Biblical Interpretation, Journal of Religious Ethics, Early Christianity, and Critical Research on Religion. His first monograph on Revelation, Thinking Sex with the Great Whore: Deviant Sexualities and Empire in the Book of Revelation (Routledge) offers an emancipatory reading of Revelation 17-18 using postcolonial and queer historiographies to explore the paths for identity formation in Biblical texts. His second proposed monograph explores different theoretical and hermeneutical developments in New Testament Studies after the Cultural Studies Turn.
