INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ISLAM, SALVATION, AND THE FATE OF OTHERS

On April 16 and 17, 2010, the University of Illinois Department of Religion will host an international symposium entitled “Islam, Salvation, and the Fate of Others.” The purpose of this symposium is to present and assess views on salvation in Islamic thought, particularly as it pertains to “Others,” i.e., non-Muslims — a topic with profound practical implications. The participants of this conference (and book project) are among the most prominent academics engaged in this discourse.
