Customer Reviews
Such excellent insights!
I teach high school religious studies and am always looking for new resources. I found this podcast last week and look forward to listening to more scriptural exploration and inter religious dialogue. Thank you!
Great Interreligious dialogue
I’ve really enjoyed this podcast and have learned so much in regards to shared stories between the Bible and the Quran. Sometimes the sound quality isn’t the best and I wish there was more active dialogue between scholars, but this is still very informative. Thanks!
