The present volume is the work of 25 scholars who represent various
specializations important to the study of the Qur'an, including
Arabic language, comparative Semitic linguistics, paleography,
epigraphy, history, rhetorical theory, hermeneutics, and Biblical
studies. The starting point of this work was a series of five
international conferences on the Qur'an at the University of Notre
Dame over the academic year 2012-13, although the commentaries
contributed during those conferences have been carefully edited to
avoid repetition. Readers of The Qur'an Seminar Commentary will
find that the 50 passages selected for inclusion in this work
include many of the most important and influential elements of the
Qur'an, including: - Q 1, al-Fatiha - Q 2:30-39, the angelic
prostration before Adam - Q 2:255, the "Throne Verse" - Q 3:7, the
muhkamat and mutashabihat - Q 4:3, polygamy and monogamy - Q
5:112-15, the table (al-ma'ida) from heaven - Q 9:29, fighting the
People of the Book and the jizya - Q 12, the story of Joseph - Q
24:45, the "Light Verse" - Q 33:40, the "seal of the prophets" - Q
53, the "satanic verses" - Q 96, including the passage often
described as the "first revelation" - Q 97, the "night of qadr" - Q
105, the "Companions of the Elephant" - Q 112, on God and the
denial of a divine son The collaborative nature of this work, which
involves a wide range of scholars discussing the same passages from
different perspectives, offers readers with an unprecedented
diversity of insights on the Qur'anic text.
