Shlomo Zuckier was awarded a Fulbright postdoctoral fellowship to pursue his research project titled “Coproduced Religions: Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Interdependence in Late Antiquity and Beyond.” He received his BA in philosophy and Jewish Studies from Yeshiva College and two MAs (Bible and Talmud) from the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies. He earned his MA, MPhil, and PhD in religious studies (Ancient Judaism) from Yale University. Prior to this appointment, he was the Igor Kaplan Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto, a Research Associate at the Institute for Advanced Study, and an Affiliated Scholar at the Yale Law School. 

Shlomo is a scholar of rabbinic literature and Jewish thought, and his current project examines Jewish, Christian, and Islamic texts in late antiquity. This research investigates how the three Abrahamic religions shaped one another in their formative centuries. He argues that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were continuously formed and re-formed through contact, contestation, and collaboration, encompassing law, scriptural interpretation, and theology.

His “Between Menorah and Minaret: How Parallel Religious Symbols Intersect,” recently appeared in Historical Interactions of Religious Cultures,” and his “Coproducing Hypocrisy in Jewish-Christian Antiquity: The Pharisees, Esau, and Other Hypocrites” is forthcoming.
