Professor Fitzgerald has taught at the University of Miami since 1981. Fitzgerald concentrates on the religions and philosophical schools of the ancient Mediterranean world in the period between Alexander the Great (d. 323 BCE) and Constantine (d. 337 CE). He is particularly interested in Second Temple and Hellenistic Judaism, the history and literature of early Christianity, and Hellenistic moral philosophy. His research focuses on the ways in which Jews and Christians interacted with the various segments of Greco-Roman culture and appropriated philosophical materials for religious use.
