Lecture, October 6

Mary of Nazareth is a central figure in the Christian scriptures, as the mother of Jesus and a model of Christian discipleship. Many Christians may not be aware that Mary - or Maryam - is also central to Muslim faith, with a full chapter or surah of the Qur’an devoted entirely to her memory. Join Prof. Klaus von Stosch to reflect on the importance of this Mary, the Mary of the Qur’an, for interreligious dialogue and collaboration.
