Dr Elizabeth Crabtree
Junior Research Fellow
Elizabeth Crabtree is a Junior Research Fellow at Blackfriars. She was awarded her DPhil in Theology in 2025.
Her research interests lie in the Christian interpretation of the Bible in the Middle Ages, and especially in how recourse to Jewish sources shaped a Christian understanding of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible.
Her doctoral project explores the biblical exegesis of Nicholas of Lyra (d. 1349), interrogating the relationship between the ‘senses of scripture’ the Franciscan employed as a basis for his two commentaries on the Bible, alongside the role of Jewish sources in his interpretation.
