About Me

I’m Dr. Matt Monger - though I publish under the name Matthew P. Monger.

I am Associate Professor of Near Eastern Languages and Literatures at
MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion, and Society in Oslo, Norway.

I earned my PhD in 2018 with a dissertation on the Dead Sea Scrolls manuscripts containing text from the Book of Jubilees.

I have Bachelors and Masters degrees in Theology from MF

a BA in Linguistics from the University of Oslo

a an MA in Semitic Philology from the University of Oslo.

I am originally from Virginia in the US but I have lived in Norway for over 20 years now.

I started this website as a companion to my new YouTube channel. I want to make resources available so that people can not only hear what I have to say but also go deeper into the texts themselves.
