| Coming to terms with the Qur’an |
| A volume in honor of Professor Issa Boullata, McGill University |
| Book Description |
This collection of essays, organized as a part of the celebration of the seventy-fifth birthday of Professor Issa J. Boullata of the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University, is devoted to elucidating the many dimensions of understanding the Qur'an. Issa Boullata has spent his scholarly career teaching and writing prolifically on Arabic literature in general and especially the Qur'an, inspiring a generation of scholars in their reflections and analysis of the qualities of the Muslim sacred text. Many of those students, along with a groups of friends, have contributed essays all of which are devoted to explicating the Qur'an in its historical and contemporary contexts. They constitute a tribute to the way in which Issa Boullata has affected the academic study of the Qur'an in Canada, the United States, Indonesia, and around the world. When the Middle East Studies Association awarded its 2004 Mentoring Award to Boullata, he was commended for being “an outstanding mentor who has introduced so many to the joys of scholarship and who has, through his generous sharing of knowledge, encouraged the careers of generations of students and colleagues.” The fourteen essays of this volume are testimony to that, each of them devoted to explicating the Qur'an in its historical and contemporary contexts.
Khaleel Mohammed is Associate Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at San Diego State University. He is also a core-faculty member of that institution’s Center for Islamic and Arabic Studies.
Andrew Rippin he is the author of Muslims: their Religious Beliefs and Practices . He is currently Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Professor of Islamic History at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.
