Abby Kulisz, a 2022 Ph.D. graduate from IU Religious Studies, published a recent article in the Ancient Jew Review, titled “Rethinking the ‘People of the Book’.” This article explains the focus of her dissertation, Sacred Friendship, Holy Hatred: Christian-Muslim Encounters with the Book in the Medieval Middle East, which explores how Middle Eastern Christians, writing in the seventh to tenth centuries, conceived of sharing a book with Muslims.
Kulisz is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Religious Studies at McMaster University.
