Islam

 Since 1991 a special focus has been the work with Islam in its meeting with modernity. This has included lectures at al-Azhar University the intellectual center of Sunni Islam in Cairo, and courses and annual conferences in Tehran and Qom the academic center of Shiite Islam. An intensive series of conferences have been held across Central Asia and Pakistan as well as in Malaysia and Indonesia in Southeast Asia on issues of faith and reason, religious fidelity and modern life, Islam and its quest for peace, the title of one of the resulting volumes. Some 18 volumes resulting from this work have appeared in the RVP Islamic series.
