PublicationsJournal for Islamic Studies (JIS) |
The Journal for Islamic Studies is a peer-reviewed journal committed to the publication of original research on Islam as culture and civilization. It particularly welcomes work of an interdisciplinary nature that brings together history, religion, politics, culture and law. The Journal has a special focus on Islam in Africa, and on contemporary Islamic Thought. Contributions that display theoretical rigour, especially work that link the particularities of Islamic discourse to the enterprise of knowledge and critique in the humanities and social sciences, will find JIS to be receptive to such submissions.
The Journal for Islamic Studies is indexed in the ATLA Religion Database ® a product of the American Theological Library Association. It is also included in the list of Approved Journals compiled by the Department of Education (South Africa).
