Research areas

Rev. Dr. Pierce joined St Mary's School of Divinity in 2025 after teaching for several years in North America. She completed her PhD at Durham University under the supervision of Professor Francis Watson, and subseqently published her thesis on Hebrews' spoken quotations of Scripture as Divine Discourse in the Epistle to the Hebrews (SNTSMS; Cambridge University Press, 2020). Recently, she published Reading the Later New Testament as Christian Scripture (Baker Academic, 2026), a resource for students co-authored by Dr Ruth Anne Reese. She has also edited two collections of essays and authored several peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters in edited volumes.

Her research interests are the Epistle to the Hebrews as well as the interpretation and reception of other Jewish traditions in the New Testament. Her current research is particularly focused on the author of Hebrews’s messiah language and analogies related to Jewish rituals.

She is ordained in the Reformed Church in America as a Minister of Word and Sacrament. She is also a New Testament Editor at Reviews of Biblical and Early Christian Studies and a co-host of The Two Cities podcast.
