THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBLITY TO MUSLIMS
A Ronning Centre Lecture Series
by David Goa
LECTURE 3: Conversations Ancient & Modern
Eastern Christianity and Islam share one landscape and have lived side by side since the seventh century and continue to do so today. The conversation between them in a shared landscape has been very different from the rhetoric of Western Christianity and Europe, shaped, in large part, by the crusades. What may we laren from teh conversations Muhammad (ca.570-632) had with Christians: St John of Damascus (c.655_c.750), a key figure in the court of the Caliph, had with Muslims; St Gregory Palamas had with varous Muslim theologians; and the Caliph had following the conquest of Constantimople in 1453? May we learn anything from these conversations that can help us in the twenty-first century?
