Jay Smith in Australia

Jay Smith recently visited Australia (April 2009) to do work on his PhD. Jay is involved in apolgetics and polemics with Islam. While he was in Australia he was invited to give the following lectures.

• "The Qur'an and History" - Examines the formation of the Qur'an and its contents in the light of the latest historical research.
• "The Hermeneutical Key" - Christians and Muslims use the same words but mean different things. Jay explains why this is case and shows how we can communicate effectively.
• "The Biography of Muhammad" - An introduction to the biography of Muhammad and the historical questions around it.
• "Understanding Radical Islam" - Who are these people, where do they get their authority from, why do they do it & what should be our response as Christians?
• "Evangelising Muslims through the common questions they raise."

We need to use Jay's visit as an opportunity for us in Australia to learn and think about our own apologetics and polemics with Islam. How do we need to be doing this work? What training are we providing in this area? What issues do we need to be working on? These are some of the questions we hope that Jay's visit will stimulate us to think about.

The DVD of Jay's lectures plus and interview with him are available here.
