Steven’s lecture will present Muhammad (PBUH) in historical context while discussing the prophet’s relevance to contemporary affairs. “Stephen Prothero has written on the religious literacy of Americans and he basically gave us Americans a failing grade for our woeful lack of knowledge about religion,” notes Scholl. “I feel that everyone should know the basic teachings of all the world’s religions and especially the stories of the founders – Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, and all the rest. The founders were each in their own way remarkable teachers and have had the biggest impact on world history. I think once people know the story of Muhammad it will help them understand our religiously plural world a bit better and perhaps ease the rising tide of Islamophobia here in the United States,” says Scholl.
Main Dish will be provided by ICMU/MET.
Bring your favorite pork-free side dish for the potluck following the lecture.
