Episode Topic: The Church and Islam through the Centuries

What are the high points and low points of the relationship between Islam and Christianity through the centuries? What do the Qur’an and the hadith (Muhammad’s sayings and deeds) teach about Christians, and how have Christians responded to the expansions of Islam? In this part of our course, we examine the relationship between Muslims and Christians “on the ground” and think together about how we can learn from the past.

Featured Speakers: 

• Gabriel Said Reynolds, Jerome J. Crowley and Rosaleen G. Crowley Professor of Islamic Studies and Theology, University of Notre Dame; Author of Qur’an and the Bible and Allah: God in the Qur’an
• John Shinkwin, Graduate Student in Theology, University of Notre Dame
