The Qur'an and the Bible: Reading Genesis Across Scriptures

Dr. Abigail Kulisz explores the interconnected relationship between the Bible and the Qur'an through the lens of the Genesis narrative. By reading the biblical and Qur'anic accounts in conversation with each other, Dr. Kulisz shows how the Qur'an engages the Bible as a subtext in subtle yet significant ways. Dr. Kulisz is an Assistant Professor at Otterbein where she teaches courses on Abrahamic religious traditions. Her research focuses on Christian writings about Islam in the medieval period, with a particular interest in using critical theory to explore how scriptures interact and reinterpret each other.
