The Qurʾān: Text, History and Culture, 6th Biennial Conference on the Qurʾān

Abstract

First paragraph: On 12-14 November 2009, the Centre of Islamic Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, hosted a conference entitled “The Qurʾān: Text, Interpretation and Translation”, during which a total of 35 papers were presented in English over eleven sessions. This series, which has been running biennially since 1999, aims to bring together academics from a num-ber of Qurʾān-related disciplines and provide an ongoing forum to investigate the ways in which we read, understand, interpret, debate and represent Qurʾanic discourse.
