DCA BOOK TALKS - I

The meeting focused on preparing for the inaugural session of DCA Book TALKS, a new academic series exploring Muslim-Christian relations, with Professor Michael Philip Penn presenting on his book about Syriac Christian perspectives on early Islam. The presentation explored how Syriac Christian texts from the 7th to 9th centuries revealed complex and nuanced relationships with early Muslims, challenging dominant narratives of conflict with a more cooperative understanding of inter-religious dynamics. The session concluded with a discussion of the broader implications of these sources for understanding historical Christian-Muslim interactions, including the challenges of reconstructing early Islamic inclusivity and coexistence through limited surviving sources.
