In this video, explore Islam’s rich intellectual tradition and its relevance in the modern world through a deep and engaging discussion with leading scholars. Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, Dean of Cambridge Muslim College, joins Dr Alexander Wain, historian of Islam in Southeast Asia, and Dr Brendan Wolfe, principal editor of the St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology, to reflect on Islamic scholarship, theology and the evolving landscape of contemporary thought. Together, they discuss the vision behind the St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology, an open-access platform dedicated to high-level, peer-reviewed scholarship across global theological traditions, and how digital accessibility, academic rigour and interfaith collaboration are shaping the future of religious studies. Discover how Islamic theology has historically embraced intellectual curiosity, diversity and spiritual depth and how these traditions continue to inspire inquiry and dialogue today. Perfect for viewers interested in Islamic studies, theology, history, and the meeting point between tradition and modern scholarship. www.bradfordlitfest.co.uk
