<p>Previous Islamic studies were considered to be a dichotomy between insider and outsider perspectives, and between Western and Islamic traditions. Subsequent developments in Islamic studies have led to Islamic studies with an interdisciplinary approach and an intersubjective perspective. This article aims to analyze the approaches in international journals of Islamic studies published by Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions. The journals studied are <i>Studia Islamika</i>, published by UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta; <i>Al-Jamiah</i>, published by UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta; and the <i>Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies </i>(<i>IJIMS</i>), published by UIN Salatiga. This study finds that Islamic studies have been integrated into traditional Islamic sciences, social sciences, and humanities with an interdisciplinary approach. The scope of themes and scientific perspectives is also very diverse and broad. This article further concludes that contemporary Islamic studies in Indonesia, with an interdisciplinary approach, have become a meeting point between the dichotomy of subjective and objective perspectives. In other words, this approach can be referred to as intersubjective. This study disagrees that Islamic studies are still trapped in a dichotomy of perspectives, and this article can contribute to the development of interdisciplinary Islamic studies.</p>
