Julia Ehinger (née Ritz) is a research associate at the DFG Research Training Group 2792 "Autonomy of Heteronomous Texts in Antiquity and the Middle Ages" in the Department of Theology. Her doctoral project deals with the Psalms of Solomon (probably 1st century BC) and their literary source, the Book of Psalms, which is considered canonical in the Jewish-Christian tradition. Julia completed her Bachelor's degree in Protestant Theology at the International University of Liebenzell and her Master's degree in Philosophy and Protestant Theology at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. Her research interests lie in the exegesis of texts from the Old Testament, Jewish Hellenism and early Christianity, as well as in the study of linguistic philosophy and textual hermeneutics.
