CTSI Projects
IIMF supports CTSI
From 2024, the International Institute for Missiological Research (IIMF) will support the CTSI with an annual grant of 15,000 euros. The IIMF and the CTSI are united by the conviction that the research fields of comparative and intercultural theology should be brought into more intensive mutual relations. The contribution of the IIMF is intended to promote corresponding efforts in the CTSI.

The objective of this project is to go along, as a Christian theological endeavour, with ongoing research (at the University of Paderborn) recasting, on the basis of the Quran, Muslim prophetology, and to employ this research so as to develop a Christian prophetology that will be aware of the theology of Israel.

An international group of theologians from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam formed to reflect together on issues related to a theology of religious pluralism by means of comparative theology, each seeking to articulate the meaning of the religious other in their respective theologies..
