The Qur'an: What It Is and What It Says
Coffee and Conversations
The Qur’an is the Scripture held sacred today by over a billion Muslims world-wide. It is becoming increasingly important for the rest of us to understand what our Muslim neighbors, at home and abroad, are taught and what they believe. A good first step is familiarizing ourselves with the Qur’an and learning how its teachings shape their religious, cultural and
political thinking. Join us for a brief introductory lecture, followed by a discussion of your own questions and concerns on this timely issue.
This special one-time lecture is limited to 40 students to create a more intimate classroom environment, focus more on conversation and interaction and give students greater access to LLS instructors.
