Current Biblical Research

Mauricio is currently working on two research projects:

1) Applying techniques of biblical exegesis he is trying to determine if the pericope of The Road to Emmaus in Lk is a catechetical development of Mk 16,12-13, or if it is a parallel text from an independent source unique to Lk

2) Applying techniques of biblical exegesis, he is researching the theology of the trust in God from the text of Psalm 27.
