Christian-Muslim Relations: Remembering Kenneth Cragg
Tuesday 15 November 14.30 – 16.00
Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies, The Song School, 109A Iffley Road, Oxford, OX4 1EH
On the 10th anniversary of the death of Bishop Kenneth Cragg, we are hosting a panel discussion with Q&A. Cragg was an eminent scholar of Christian-Muslim relations and an original Christian thinker who read the Qur'an and Bible comparatively. He devoted his life to the interaction between Muslims and Christians as an active churchman and pastor who spent time in the Middle East. He was a prolific writer over a wide variety of genres, from academic papers to translations of Arabic texts, to poems and prayers for interfaith occasions. Cragg was also influential in bringing Islam to the general readership of the Anglican Church from the mid-twentieth century onwards.
