Religious Challenges in Modern Egypt 

Dr. Atef Gendy, PhD

Join us for the unique opportunity to attend a lecture by Dr. Atef Gendy, PhD, visiting scholar from Cairo, who will discuss the challenges of Christianity in the face of the Egyptian revolution. Dr. Gendy will address a number of topics, including: How does the Egyptian church function in an Islamic context? What theological themes apply to the current unrest in Egypt? What is the role of religion in modern Egypt?
