This panel engages the recent monograph of Piotr Zygulski, Eschatological Unity: Findings from a Catholic-Shiʿi Experience (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025), which explores the potential for eschatology to serve as a common ground for both Catholicism and Shīʿa Islam. The volume discusses the role of eschatological unity as a unifying theme in theological discourse, suggesting it as a key to examine aspects of unity within Catholic eschatology and the Shīʿī belief in the Imām Mahdī. Both discussants are scholars of Islamic studies and interfaith dialogue, including specific expertise in eschatology and mysticism.
