Ijtihad Network Being Wise and Faithful Muslim in the Contemporary World
The Quran and Islamic Tradition in Comparative Perspective unit of the Society of Biblical Litrerature invites proposals for both individual papers and pre-arranged panels at the International Meeting in Adelaide, July 5-9, 2020.
Suggested topics might include, but are not limited to, the Quran and Islamic tradition in the wider context of its history from Late Antiquity to the Modern period. Special attention is given to Islam’s profound historical relationships with Judaism, Christianity, and the biblical heritage; and comparative inquiry and intercommunal dialogue more generally. Therefore, it is imperative that all papers have some comparative approach with biblical literature. This year, it is especially encouraged to submit proposals related to the ecology and/or ecological hermeneutics.
Proposals for panels or individual papers can be submitted online at http://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Internationalmeeting.aspx.
Please note that membership in the Society of Biblical Literature is required in order to submit a paper proposal. For more information please contact the program unit chairs: Abdulla Galadari, Khalifa University of Science & Technology (aigaladari@gmail.com); John Kaltner, Religious Studies, Rhodes College (kaltner@rhodes.edu).
