Requirements for Participation

The Qur’an and the Biblical Tradition (IQSA)


Program Unit Type: Affiliate
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For the 2015 meeting in Atlanta, we invite papers for two sessions. 1) Together with the "Biblia Arabica" consultation of SBL, "The Qur'an and the Biblical Tradition (IQSA)" invites paper proposals for a joint session on the topic: "'The Bible is at the same time everywhere and nowhere in the Arabic Qur'an' (Sidney H. Griffith): Case Studies and Reflections." This session aims at studying the elaboration and treatment of specific biblical themes in the Qur’an and by its interpreters. Case studies may be on divine revelation, attitudes to class, violence and destruction, attitudes to women, prophets and prophecy, space and time, but do not have to be limited to these. We invite proposals that reflect explicitly on the theme as articulated by Sidney Griffith, and that consider processes of canon formations and renewal on the basis of earlier canons. 2) We invite papers on interactions between the biblical and qur'anic traditions for an open session.
