Featuring Pulitzer- Prize winning historian, writer, and journalist Garry Wills, PhD. Wills is the author of What Jesus Meant, Why I Am a Catholic, and Why Priests? and an Emeritus Professor of History at Northwestern University. He will open an interfaith dialogue examining how the Qur’an has been misinterpreted and exploited: by politicians and pundits, by persons of other faiths unfamiliar with the basic facts of Islam, and by fearful persons who seek to prove that Islam is a religion of violence. He will contextualize the Qur’an, comparing it with other sacred books that may be more familiar to non-Muslim readers, including the Old Testament and New Testament. Wills will be interviewed by Chaplain Tahera Ahmad, Associate University Chaplain and Director of Interfaith Engagement at Northwestern University.
