Quran and Islamic Tradition in Comparative Perspective


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: For the inaugural sessions of the “Quran and Islamic Tradition in Comparative Perspective” unit of the ISBL at the 2010 meeting in Tartu, Estonia, we welcome both individual paper proposals and pre-arranged panel proposals organized around a specific theme. Suggested topics might include, but are not limited to, biblical themes in the Quran and Muslim literature; the 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; and Muslim cultural, religious, social, and political life in the West. For the 2010 meeting in Tartu, we especially welcome papers on Islam in Eastern Europe. Further, in anticipation of a special session at the 2011 ISBL meeting in London on "Quran and Bible in International Politics," we welcome papers for the 2010 meeting on this topic as well.

If you are not a member of either SBL or EABS but want to propose a paper, click here. While those covered by the SBL program are expected to gain membership, we welcome non-members from the wider region surrounding Estonia to contribute by making a proposal.

For all other persons wanting to propose a paper, you must communicate directly with the chair of the program unit to which you want to propose. Chairs have the responsibility to make waiver requests, and their email addresses are available above.
