The series brings a diverse range of perspectives to the study of pre-modern and contemporary Islamic scripture and theology. This includes emerging sub-fields in Qur’anic studies such as a focus on the classical disciplines used to understand the Qur’an, hermeneutics and tafsir studies. In the area of Muslim theology there is a focus on important concepts, authors and schools, with an emphasis on constructive theological approaches from varying perspectives, for example in conversation with analytic or continental philosophy.
