This new journal from the International Qur’anic Studies Association will support of the association’s mission of fostering scholarship on the Qur’an.


The Journal of the International Qur’anic Studies Association (JIQSA) is a peer reviewed annual journal published on behalf of the International Qur’anic Studies Association, a nonprofit learned society for scholars of the Qur’an. JIQSA welcomes article submissions that explore the Qur’an’s origins in the religious, cultural, social, and political contexts of Late Antiquity; its connections to various literary precursors, especially the scriptural and parascriptural traditions of older religious communities; the historical reception of the Qur’an in the West; the hermeneutics and methodology of qur’anic exegesis and translation (both traditional and modern); the transmission and evolution of the textus receptus; Qur’an manuscripts and material culture; and the application of various literary and philological modes of investigation into qur’anic style, compositional structure, and rhetoric.
