The Eternal Challenge – Br. Hamza Tzortzis

Instructor: Hamza Tzortzis

Registration: $20

Imagine you’re at work, university or watching a documentary – you can’t help but feel that the Quran is being dismissed as irrational and incoherent:

“The Quran is an old book full of myths,”

“The Quran is inaccurate,”

“The Quran contains mistakes,”

“The Quran was written by a man,”

“The Quran copied the Bible,” and,

“The Quran 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?

The Eternal Challenge: The Limits of Science and the Miracles of the Qur’an is a one-day Islamic thought workshop designed to empower you with the right tools and concepts to successfully articulate the linguistic miracle of the Quran and to be able to reconcile and understand revelation in our age of science.
