About


Hello, and welcome to my academic website! My name is Yoshi Takahashi, and I'm a Ph.D. candidate at McMaster Divinity College at McMaster University.

I am writing a PhD dissertation that addresses the issue of anti-Judaism in Paul's letter to the Romans, using discourse analysis. The Divinity College at McMaster University is proud to have faculty members who specialize in discourse analysis. We have a regular meeting at the Centre for Biblical Linguistics, Translation, and Exegesis. I also present my paper world-widely, including at the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies (CSBS) in Canada and at the Japan Society of New Testament Studies (日本新約学会) in Japan. 

As I continue my doctoral studies, I'll be updating this site with my latest publications, presentations, and reflections. I'm always eager to connect with fellow scholars and researchers, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss my work further.
