The Breadth and the Depth: Dimensions of Christian-Muslim Relations at Educational Institutions of the ELCA

No. 33 · Spring 2011

Swanson reflects on the spatial metaphors of depth and breadth that shape Lutheran higher education and argues that the study of Islam and real conversation between Christians and Muslims can contribute to both the broadening of horizons and the deepening of faith, drawing on his experience at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and pointing to hospitality as a Christian practice in which depth and breadth come together.
