The Eternal Challenge - The Limits of Science and the Miracles of the Qur’an

You are either at work, university or watching a documentary. You can’t help but feel that the Qur’an is being dismissed as irrational and incoherent: “The Qu’ran is an old book full of myths”, “The Qur’an is inaccurate”, “The Quran contains mistakes”, “The Qur’an was written by a man”, “The Qur’an copied the Bible”, and “The Qur’an has no evidence for its claims”.

You cannot answer these questions, and you’re not happy with what you find on the internet. So what do you do?

Well, iERA’s research team has developed The Eternal Challenge: The Limits of Science and the Linguistic Miracle of the Qur’an Islamic thought workshop to empower you with the right tools and concepts to successfully articulate the linguistic miracle of the Qur’an to non-Arabs and to be able to reconcile and understand revelation in our age of science.

The Eternal Challenge workshop has been designed to take you from not knowing anything about how to provide a strong case for the Qur’an to someone who can discuss it confidently with your neighbour and with the likes of Professor Richard Dawkins.

– Is science the only way to truth?
– How do we understand science and revelation?
– What is a miracle?
– What is the intellectual challenge of the Qur’an?
– How do we respond to academic, orientalist and popular objections?
– What makes the Qur’an a linguistic miracle?
– What are the philosophical implications?
– How do we articulate the miracle to non-Arabs?
