The Mellon Islamic Studies Initiative

posterQur'anic Studies Today

November 9, 2012
Swift Hall, Common Room

Organized by Angelika Neuwirth, Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago, Professor Freie Universität Berlin, this workshop reviews the diverse methodologies currently applied in Qur'anic studies. It takes a fresh look at texts that incorporate traditional and modern, Arab and Muslim scholarship. Rather than searching for influences or deviations, the relationship between the various traditions will have to be considered as a conversation--a process of negotiating, and sometimes superseding, given versions.
