Professor Hultin is the author of The Ethics of Obscene Speech in Early Christianity and Its Environment (Brill 2008), a book that contextualizes ancient debates about the nature and propriety of obscene speech.
Interested broadly in the history and literature of Hellenistic Judaism and ancient Christianity, he has presented papers on a variety of topics, including Galatians, Colossians, Clement of Alexandria, Genesis Rabbah, the Messianic Secret, and the Protevangelium of James. He is co-chair of the newly created Society of Biblical Literature consultation entitled "Speech and Talk: Discourses and Social Practices in the Ancient Mediterranean World." He is currently working on a commentary on Jude and 2 Peter for the Hermeneia series.
The Journal for the Study of the New Testament said this about Professor Hultin's book:
“The book began as Hultin’s doctoral dissertation. It contains all the positive hallmarks of such beginnings and none of the negative ones. It is well thought out, well structured, well referenced and well written. The recourse to primary source material in particular is erudite and clear.” Glenn M. Balfour, in the Journal for the Study of the New Testament, p. 15
Quote
"The very creation of the canon served to amplify the significance and force of Jude's citation of 1 Enoch. It is striking, in this regard, that Barnabas's citations of 1 Enoch are nowhere mentioned in defense of 1 Enoch (or in defense of Jude). Thus it appears that the creation of a 'closed' canon created a sort of 'wormhole' that connected the canon itself to those apocryphal texts that a strictly delimited list of sacred books was meant to keep out."
