TitledTowards a New Reading of the Quran,the conference includes a panel of international scholars who will debate new theories for understanding the Quran, including a discussion of the well-known Luxenberg theory.

Sponsored by the Notre Dames Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, Department of Theology, Medieval Institute and theGraduateSchool, the conference is free and open to the public. All lectures and panels will take place in McKenna Hall.
