A Common Word-Episode 1 | Younus Mirza Hosts Rachel Mikva
One of the reasons I have been drawn to A Common Word and the Islamic Mary or Maryam in particular is the idea of a shared figure between various religious traditions and the interactions between them. This led me to the emerging field of Interreligious Studies and to the new book Interreligious Studies: An Introduction by Rachel Mikva. I sit down with Rachel to talk about defining Interreligious Studies, how it is different from other fields, and how it is relevant to Jewish-Muslim relations and the current crises in the Middle East.
A Common Word podcast focuses on Islam and Interreligious Studies. It is inspired by the Qur’anic verse 3:64 which calls the People of the Book to “a common word” and the A Common Word Initiative held in 2007 in Amman, Jordan. It interviews scholars, activists and practitioners in the realm of bridge building, peace studies and social justice.
