Explore Islam’s traditional intellectual legacy and its contemporary relevance alongside the vision behind the St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology—a groundbreaking, open-access platform committed to high-level, peer-reviewed scholarship across global theological traditions.
Join Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, Dean of the Cambridge Muslim College, alongside Dr Alexander Wain, historian of Islam in Southeast Asia, and Dr Brendan Wolfe, principal editor of the St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology, for a thought-provoking conversation on Islamic tradition, theology, and the evolving landscape of contemporary scholarship.
For much of its history, Islam has been characterised by intellectual curiosity, plurality, and malleability. Finding expression within a broad range of theological, philosophical, and mystical traditions, today this creativity often seems hidden behind a deep-rooted conservativism.
The speakers will discuss how digital accessibility, intellectual rigour, and interfaith collaboration are shaping the future of theological inquiry, particularly within the Islamic tradition. This discussion promises an engaging conversation on the intersection of tradition, scholarship, and innovation with three leading voices in the field.
