“What Christians Have Learned from Interfaith Dialog” 

Professor Robert Hunt is the Director of Global Theology at Perkins School of Theology, at Southern Methodist University. He is also a seasoned international lecturer in the fields of World Religions, Inter-religious Dialog, and Islam.

Some of Prof. Hunt’s selected publications include. Muslim Citizens of a Globalized World, (editor) (IID Press, 2006); What Every Christian Should Know about Muslim Ideals (GBGM Press, 2003); Islam in Southeast Asia, (GBGM Press, 1999); Biography of William Shellabear, Soldier, Missionary, and Scholar of Malaysia, (University of Malaya Press, 1995); Christianity in Malaysia: a Denominational History, (Pelanduk Press, 1990). 

Having lived for many years in Malaysia, Professor Hunt feels at home with the Hindu religious tradition, and has a special respect for the Ramakrishna Math and Mission—its ideals and activities in America and abroad. We are therefore privileged to have Prof. Hunt as our special guest. 

On Sunday, March 28th, at 11am, Prof. Hunt will speak at the Vedanta Center on the positive aspects of “What Christians Have Learned from Interfaith Dialog.” All are welcome.
