Join us for our Academic Lecture with Dr. Jay Smith

In the last 20 years, academic scholars studying Islam have begun to ask significantly critical questions about Islam’s origins. In this academic lecture, Dr. Jay Smith will share some of their remarkable findings, focusing especially on three key foundations of Islam: the city of Mecca, Muhammad, and the Quran. Can we really trust what Muslims claim about early Islam?

This new research is both controversial and exciting, raising significant questions about long-held Muslim claims. The lecture will also explore how these findings can be applied in Christian-Muslim apologetics and evangelism.

Dr. Jay Smith has been working with Muslims for over 40 years. He holds two master’s degrees and earned his PhD in apologetics and polemics from the Melbourne School of Theology in Australia. An expert in Christian-Muslim apologetics, Dr. Smith spends much of his time traveling internationally to teach and train Christians to engage Muslims with clarity and conviction.

This academic lecture will take place on Friday, February 6, 5:00–8:00pm, in Heritage Hall. There will be two lectures in one evening, with dinner in between.

Please RSVP so we can plan well for space and food.
We look forward to seeing you!
