Expert on relationship between Islam, Christianity speaks on campus
The campus community is invited to a public lecture to be presented tonight (Tuesday) by Dr. Mathias Zahniser, a scholar in residence at Greenville College and an expert on the relationship between Islam and Christianity. He will present “Islam and Democracy: Faith Sees Positively and Thinks Hopefully” from 7 to 9 p.m. in Hoover 105.
In addition, Zahniser will speak in chapel on Wednesday, Oct. 31, at 10:40 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium on the topic “Was Cornelius a Muslim? Faith Sees Inclusively, Knowing God Works Consistently.” That will be followed by a talk-back session in the Cap and Gown Room at noon.
Zahniser wrote the book The Mission and Death of Jesus in Islam and Christianity and is currently working on a chapter for a book edited by David Emmanuel Singh on issues related to the Incarnation in the context of Christian-Muslim faith sharing.
