Abstract

This article argues – on the occasion of Collegium Biblicum’s 75 anniversary – that qurʾānic studies belong to an important and longstanding scholarly object of investigation in biblical studies – in the past, present, and future. The article sets out with three sections. The first outlines a striking resemblance between the qurʾānic and the biblical universes. The second exemplifies how the Qurʾān stages itself in dialogue with the biblical tradition. The third sketches some characteristic Christian responses to the Qurʾān. The article then proceeds to outline how Danish university theology from early on engaged with the Qurʾān and its language, Arabic. The penultimate section summarizes state-of-affairs since year 2000 and the last section points to current trends and future scenarios and hopes.
