I am an academic researcher specialising in the intellectual history of the medieval Islamic world, with a partiucular focus on religious writings: the Qur'an, the interpretation of the Qur'an and the hadith. I also have an interest in the life and work of the Egyptian scholar, Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (d. 911/1505). I am also interested in religious thought more generally, partiucalrly the way in whcih religious meaning is developed into discourse and argument.A list of my current publications can be found here: http://iis.academia.edu/StephenBurgeMy work profile can be found here: http://www.iis.ac.uk/people/stephen-r-burge
