Steven Scholl to Discuss Islam, Christianity, and Judaism in Price Lecture

February 2008—Steve Scholl, an independent religious scholar, writer, and filmmaker, will speak on “Where Judaism, Christianity, and Islam Meet: A Profound Kinship or a Clash of Theologies?” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19, in the LBJ Teaching Theatre (LBJ Student Center Room 4-16.1).  The lecture is free and open to the public.

The lecture is part of the Price Lecture Series, sponsored by United Campus Ministry-Wesley (formerly the Campus Christian Community). The series is named for the late San Marcos businessman and philanthropist H. Y. Price, who made it possible through a generous endowment.

Scholl founded the White Cloud Press in 1993 and is editor of The Peace Bible: Words from the Great Traditions and Common Era: Best New Writings on Religion.
