The Global Qur'an
The Global Qur’an is the only fully open access book series that looks at Muslim engagement with the Qur’an from a global perspective. We publish studies that focus on the translation and interpretation of the Qur’an or on the social, cultural, pedagogical, aesthetic, and devotional place of the Qur’an in Muslim societies worldwide. We particularly encourage comparative studies, investigations of transregional dynamics, and interactions between local and global contexts. We welcome authors from a variety of disciplines – including, but not limited to, history, anthropology and sociology – who approach Qur’anic studies with their own questions and methodologies. Contributions from scholars outside Western Europe and North America are especially welcome.
- The series is published under an open access model to ensure that each book is accessible to scholars all over the world.
- No compulsory OA fees.
- Available in both paper and digital formats.
- Swift publication: quick progress post-peer-review to published book.
- Multilingual options: the book can be published in multiple languages either as PDF resource or full edition (depending on funding).
- Open to authors from different countries and academic cultures.
- The board is willing to support authors in developing their book proposal from a concept note.
