Discovery Seminar
Open to All
Speaker: Adam Dodds
This interactive seminar begins by introducing Islam: the person of Muhammad; Islam’s sources of authority, its theology and core practises; the Sunna, Shariah law, and Islamic da’wah (mission). We will examine similarities and differences with the Christian faith, and the relationship between the Bible and the Qur’an. The seminar will consider Islam in relation to contemporary issues such as peace and violence, freedom and censorship, apostasy, Dhimmitude, and the place of women. Some of the deeper contrasts between Islam and Christianity will be uncovered, and the seminar will also offer answers to Islamic objections to Christian faith. Finally, we’ll ask the question: how do I love my Muslim neighbour?
There will be lots of opportunity throughout for questions and answers - come along to deepen your understanding of, and response to, Islam today.
