Luiz received his MA in Religious Sciences from Universidade Metodista de São Paulo, Brazil. In his Master’s dissertation he pursued the Second Temple Jewish Imaginary of Heavenly Ascent and Celestial Temple and its impact on Christian Origins. In his PhD, Luiz Felipe is occupied with more earthly pursuits. Researching under the advisory of Prof. John S. Kloppenborg, he is interested in the History of Sexuality in Early Christianity. Beyond the interest in the profane side of Early Christian Identity formation, Luiz Felipe dilettantely cultivates his passion for Jazz and Latin American Fiction.
