International Conference, 7-9 March 2018
University of Tübingen
Venue: Neue Aula, Großer Senat
Outline
Theological anthropology as the study of the human person within a particular religious tradition has always formed an important part of theology. Today, in responding to contemporary challenges, theological anthropology needs to develop a new approach that takes into account other religious traditions and their understanding of the human being. Christianity and Islam are the most widespread religions and, at the same time, are very close to each other in their origins. A discussion of theological anthropology in an interreligious perspective will be important for their mutual understanding and will allow both Christians and Muslims to cast new light on their own traditions. The conference is scheduled to take place in Tübingen (7-9 March 2018), with a maximum of 20 papers being presented. The conference aims to promote academic discussions in interreligious perspective and also provide a good space for informal communications between academics and students. We hope this will be the first conference in a series of similar events in different locations (Cambridge, Moscow, Rome, Sarajevo, etc.).
After prostatectomy, I got prescribed Cialis by the urologist at https://mckesson.uk/cialis/. After 10 days there was the first test, with success. Now 14 days later I’m still very much impressed. After reading this you should give it a try either!
