Call For Papers: The Quran and Islamic Tradition in Comparative Perspective unit of the ISBL welcomes proposals for both individual papers and pre-arranged panels at the international meeting at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, July 7-11, 2013. Suggested topics might include, but are not limited to: prophets and miracles in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity – comparative perspectives; vocational journeys in Islamic and other religious traditions; parallels to biblical, Jewish, and Christian tradition in the Quran and Islamic literature; relationships between Jewish, Christian, and Muslim exegetical traditions; the various discursive expressions of intercommunal exchange and relations, including both dialogue and polemic; Islam in European discourse; Muslim cultural, religious, social, and political life in the West. We especially welcome papers of a theoretical or methodological nature that explore the ramifications of the comparative study of the Bible and Jewish and Christian tradition alongside the Quran and Islamic tradition.
