You can't understand Christian nationalism & the January 6th Capitol Riot without recognizing the roles that Messianic Judaism & Christian Zionism play in Charismatic Christianity. But where did these movements come from & why are they viewed so differently by Jews & Christians? Attend a free 3-week online course beginning on Tuesday, May 2 taught by Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) Protestant scholar Matthew D. Taylor, the Institute's resident expert on Christian nationalism. There will be afternoon and evening sessions. Register for the zoom link.

The instructor Matthew D. Taylor, Ph.D., is the Protestant Scholar at ICJS, where he specializes in Muslim-Christian dialogue, Evangelical and Pentecostal movements, religious politics in the U.S., and American Islam. Before coming to ICJS, Taylor served on the faculty of Georgetown University and George Washington University, and he is currently a faculty member in the Theology Department at Loyola University Maryland. His forthcoming book, Scripture People: Salafi Muslims in Evangelical Christians’ America (Cambridge University Press, 2023), offers an introduction to the oft-misunderstood Salafi movement in the U.S. by way of comparison with American Evangelicalism.

Islam is a religion that nourishes body, heart, mind and soul. The word Islam literally means peace, surrender and submission. A Muslim is one who has made a conscious decision to freely surrender and submit to the one and only God, the creator of every thing and every being.

ICJS Muslim Scholar Zeyneb Sayilgan will explain how Muslims try to embody these ideals in everyday life.

Zeyneb Sayilgan, Ph.D., is the Muslim Scholar at ICJS, where her research centers around Islamic theology and spirituality, Christian-Muslim relations, and the intersection of religion and migration. Her personal experience of growing up in Germany as a child of Kurdish Muslim immigrants from Turkey informs her academic work and engagement in interreligious learning.

She is the host of the On Being Muslim podcast.
