 Her work is best known for her revisions of the Joanic tradition, and her research on feminist theology, but she has also written on post-colonial readings of early Christian texts, and a wide range of other areas.In her discussion of Apocalyptic narratives in Early Christian communities, for example, she has analysed the development of "a political theology of active non-violent resistance" whereby symbolism and imagery encode "a critique, and a stern condemnation, of the totalitarian system of Imperial Rome, its values, its methods, its claim to divinity".Bernabé publishes mostly in Spanish.
