Last May, Dr. Andrew Rippin wrote up a conference report for IQSA on the 1st International Symposium on Rethinking the Qur’an, which can be read here. This year, the Research Institute for Philosophical Foundations of Disciplines (İlim Dallarının Düşünce Temellerini Araştırma Enstitüsü) will sponsor the 2nd International Symposium on Rethinking the Qur’an on May 10-11 in Ankara, Turkey.

This year’s topic is “Concepts and Terms in the Qur’an.” The meeting thus seeks to be an interdisciplinary conference that gathers scholars from across the globe to present and discuss the most recent developments in the study of Qur’anic concepts and terms.
