Many thanks to Amir Dziri and Hansjörg Schmid, both of the Swiss Center for Islam and Society at the University of Fribourg, for inviting me to join a conference celebrating the dissertations of seven graduates of their doctoral program in “Islam and Society: Islamic-theological Studies.” I will respond to an innovative and sophisticated dissertation by Esma Isis-Arnautović titled “Vom Menschenbild zum Paradigma: Zur Begründbarkeit einer theologischen Anthropologie im Islam.” My presentation will be:
“The Anthropological Turn in Islamic Theologies of Revelation.” On the Future of a Young Discipline: Islamic-theological Studies between Systematic and Practical Research, Swiss Center for Islam and Society, University of Fribourg / Paulus Akademie, Zurich, May 31, 2022.
Here is a pdf of the slides for my presentation.
