Call for papers

We invite submission of original, quality research articles for consideration for publication in JIQSA. Methodologies of particular interest to the journal include historical-critical, contextual-comparative, and literary approaches to the Qur’an. We especially welcome articles that explore the Qur’an’s origins in the religious, cultural, social, and political contexts of Late Antiquity; its connections to various literary precursors, especially the scriptural and parascriptural traditions of older religious communities; the historical reception of the Qur’an in the west; the hermeneutics and methodology of qur’anic exegesis and translation (both traditional and modern); the transmission and evolution of the textus receptus; Qur’an manuscripts and material culture; and the application of various literary and philological modes of investigation into Qur’anic style, compositional structure, and rhetoric.

Articles to be considered for publication may reflect a variety of disciplinary perspectives, but should be

• located in and engaged with the relevant scholarly literature, building on existing knowledge;
• conscious of authorial perspective and positionality, and explicit about aims, theoretical posture, and methodology;
• reflective about their impact on larger issues and debates in the academic field of Qur’anic Studies and in broader public discourses around the Qur’an and Islam.

Submissions should be uploaded electronically at https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/jiqsa/html.
