PANEL: FRANCISCAN INSIGHTS FOR CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM COMPARATIVE THEOLOGY
09/07/2025 08:30 - 10:45
HALL: Seminar Room 03

Proponent: Welle J.

Chair: Welle J.

Speaker: Sekowski P., Welle J., Wiesenhütter L.

This panel examines distinctively Franciscan insights for Christian reflection on Islam. Confirmed panelists investigate how Franciscan epistemology colors a Christian reading of the Qur?an, the 'virgin point' in the theology of Louis Massignon (a third-order Franciscan), and some elements of one of Massignon's creative friar-disciples that have never been carefully considered by the theological community. This open call panel welcomes additional papers on this theme, to a maximum of three additional papers.
