Maimonides on Christianity and Islam

Kent Hall, Room 120 1020 E 58th St. Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park

What did Maimonides say about Christianity and Islam? How would Averroes or Thomas Aquinas have responded to him? This symposium will be a thought-experiment in interreligious dialogue. David Novak (University of Toronto) will begin by explicating Maimonides’ position. Yousef Casewit (University of Chicago) will put on the persona of Al-Ghazali to reply. And Matthew Levering (University of St. Mary of the Lake) will reply as if he were Thomas Aquinas. A conversation moderated by James Robinson (University of Chicago) and an audience Q-and-A will follow.
