Daniel FB Eng is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work brings together biblical studies, manuscript culture, and paratextual hermeneutics. His research focuses on how marginal texts—titles, hypotheses, annotations, and other paratextual features—function not merely as supplementary material but as active interpretive agents that shape the reading of Scripture.

Eng’s work pays particular attention to the Catholic Epistles, exploring how paratextual traditions within manuscripts such as the Euthalian Apparatus frame complex and contested passages. Through close analysis of these materials, he investigates how interpretation is guided from the margins, revealing the ways in which ancient readers structured meaning, authority, and theological understanding.

Drawing on historical, textual, and literary approaches, his research engages the intersection of memory, tradition, and interpretation. His work seeks to demonstrate that meaning is not confined to the biblical text itself but emerges through the dynamic interplay between text and paratext across time.
