The Jews and Islam – Evening Sessions

Today the nexus between Judaism and Christianity marks a high point in the history of Jewish-Christian relations.

The same cannot be said, however, about the relationship between Judaism and Islam – but this hasn’t always been the case.

Join Paul Forgasz for this thought-provoking four-week course unravelling the intricacies of the enduring relationship between the Jewish and Islamic worlds. Sifting through history, we will learn about the shift from a state of relative coexistence to the current paradigm of confrontation.
