About Me

Livnat Holtzman is Associate Professor in the Department of Arabic at Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel. From October 2012 to October 2018, she served as Department Chair. Dr. Holtzman is an established expert in Islamic theology and Islamic traditionalism from the inception of Islam until the 15th century. She is currently interested in: (1) the presence of the theological discourse in the public sphere of the medieval societies; (2) Hadith literature (in the widest sense of the term) and its role in theological debates; (3) non-textual elements in the process of Hadith transmission (gesture studies). Recently, she published a 450-page monograph entitled "Anthropomorphism in Islam: The Challenge of Traditionalism (700-1350)", Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press (March 2018).
