World Religions
Isaac Reads with Ishmael (Reading the Bible with the Qur'an)


Thursday, February 20 (7:30 - 9:30 pm)

The holy scripture of Muslims, the Qur'an, contains many narratives similar to those in the Bible. What happens when parallels from the Bible and Qur'an are read together?

In this presentation, two or three such parallel narratives will be examined, for example, the story of creation of human life.

Facilitator: Dr. Volker Greifenhagen
