The Qur’an and Late Antiquity, session at the Society of Biblical Literature 2023 Annual Meeting, San Antonio, TX, November 18–21, 2023

For the 2023 International Qur'anic Studies Association Annual Meeting in San Antonio, the Qur’an and Late Antiquity program unit invites proposals that utilize various types of material or evidence—be that literary, documentary, or epigraphic—to illuminate the historical context in which the Qur’an was revealed and the early Islamic polity emerged. We are especially interested in papers that present and discuss new and comparative methodologies to approach the interplay between Late Antique phenomenon and the Qur’an.
