The Bible and the Koran often address the same issues or tell stories about the same people. Do they do so with the same or with different intentions? What is their intention when describing the creation of the earth? What roles did Abraham, Moses, and Joseph, the most important characters in the Torah, play? And what does the Koran say about Mary and Jesus versus the Christian Bible? We will pay special attention to the various dividing and uniting aspects between the traditions of the three religions with reference to the examples of Koranic passages calligraphed onto the beechwood tablets displayed in the Divine Poetry exhibition, and their biblical counterparts.

Organisers: Munich Protestant Academy, St. Markus
