A Qur'anic Analysis of the "ḥūrʿīn"(gazelle-eyed fair maidens) and the Earthly (Believing) Women of Paradise

My new article for JIQSA (the Journal of IQSA WEB) is now available online: “On the Historicity of ʿUthmān’s Canonization of the Qur’an, Part 1: The State of the Field” It is open access – link below!

Individual chapters are available Open Access on JSTOR (thanks to John Templeton Foundation): jstor.org/stable/10.3366…. The full book will follow as an OA ebook/pdf in a year via the publisher’s website.
