About this Journal

The Journal of Qur'anic Studies is a triannual, bilingual, peer-reviewed journal that aims to encourage and promote the study of the Qur’an from a wide range of scholarly perspectives, reflecting the diversity of approaches characteristic of this field of scholarship. JQS publishes articles both in English and Arabic, to encourage the bridging of the gap between the two traditions of Muslim and Western scholarship. The Journal of Qur'anic Studies is principally dedicated to the publication of original papers, with a book review section including reviews of new works on the Qur’an in the various languages of the Muslim world, as well as the output of the western academic presses.

JQS also includes a ‘Notes and Correspondence’ section, which is intended as a space for members of the Qur’anic studies community to contribute news and information on current research, projects and developments in the field, including new courses, conferences, Qur’an-related activities on the Internet, CD-Rom releases, and other
items of interest.

 

JQS is published by Edinburgh University Press on behalf of the Centre for Islamic Studies at SOAS.
