IQSA Zoom Video Series

Last week marked the final instalment in the IQSA Zoom video series designed to bring scholars and students of the Qur’an together at a time when many are in social isolation. These seminars were part of IQSA’s larger mission to advance “cutting edge, intellectually rigorous, academic research on the Qur’an” and to be “a bridge between different global communities of Qur’anic scholarship.”
