Symposium on Cusanus, the Qur’an, and the Cribratio Alkorani

The Watanabe Lecture and Symposium on Cusanus, the Qur’an, and the Cribratio Alkorani September 29-30, 2018 United Lutheran Seminary (New Name, Same Location) Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325 In Cooperation with the American Cusanus Society and the International Seminar on Pre-Reformation Theology Watanabe Lecturer: Walter Andreas Euler, Trier Banquet program: Cabaret Night with Broadway’s Bruce Moore In addition to the annual Watanabe Lecture, we gather for a symposium focusing on the Cribratio Alkorani (1460-61), Cusanus’ detailed critique of the Qur’an. Here Nicholas undertakes a project unique in the fifteenth century: to discern Gospel truths within the Qur’an itself. We shall discuss this project within Cusanus’ career and alongside works by his contemporaries and later thinkers. This symposium, as well as several previous Gettysburg Conferences and the Bond-Watanabe Collection, now one of the largest Cusanus collections in the United States, is made possible by the Kiyomi Koizumi Watanabe Fund in memory of Morimichi Watanabe. In addition, we gratefully acknowledge financial support from the American Cusanus Society and facilities and staff assistance from our host, United Lutheran Seminary.
