Published in 2025 by Herder (192 pp.), Nizänum und Islam. Debatten des Nizänums in koranischen Suren, edited by Angelika Neuwirth, Dirk Hartwig and Mouhanad Khorchide (a researcher in the Pluriel network), is an interdisciplinary study of the presence of Jewish and Christian liturgical traditions in the Qur’an.
