Dr. Krista Dalton is an Associate Professor of Religious and Jewish Studies at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. Her first book, entitled How Rabbis Became Experts (Princeton
University Press, 2025) analyzes the process by which the rabbis of late ancient Roman
Palestine became seen as religious experts in Jewish communities. Her second and
current book project, entitled The Rabbi: A Cultural History (Princeton University Press),
offers a broad survey of the vocation of rabbis from antiquity to modernity.
