International conference on the Quran entitled T


From April 19-21, 2009 the University of Notre Dame will host an
international conference on the Quran entitled The Quran in Its Historical
Context. Like the 2005 Notre Dame Quran conference (the papers of which
are published with Routledge as The Quran in Its Historical Context), the
2009 conference is dedicated to an examination of the Qurans relationship
with the historical circumstances in which it emerges and with the larger
literary tradition especially Biblical in which it participates.
Particular attention will be paid to the relationship of the Quran to
Syriac Literature (and, among other things the theories of Christoph
Luxenberg). The keynote speakers of the 2009 Notre Dame conference will
be Profs. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd and Robert Hoyland. Fr. Sidney Griffith
will also present a paper. All are welcome to attend.
