Rita George-Tvrtković, What Muslims Can Teach Catholics about Christianity
March 22, 2019 1:30 – 2:30 p.m.
- Linehan Chapel, Golisano Academic Center »
- Open to Nazareth and Rochester Community
- Attendance is Free
In a world that seems to believe that an unassailable barrier exists between Islam and Christianity, the work of Rita George-Tvrtković, Ph.D., holds a special importance. A specialist in Christian-Muslim relations, medieval and contemporary, she engages ethnography with textual study of the Bible and Qur’an to explore each tradition’s understanding of the other. Her efforts embrace persons much beloved within each tradition, Jesus/Isa and Mary/Maryam, to help us grasp, and then ponder, the significance each tradition’s understandings holds for the other.
