Introduction to the conference on the impact of Abrahamic religions on each other: 

"The Abrahamic religions - Islam, Judaism, and Christianity - have a rich and complex history of interaction and influence. Over the centuries, these religions have shaped each other in countless ways, from the exchange of intellectual and theological ideas to the sharing of cultural and narrative traditions. Today,as the world continues to globalize, the relationship between Abrahamic religions has become increasingly important, both for understanding the past and for shaping the future. 

The purpose of this conference is to bring together scholars and experts from a range of disciplines to explore the impact of Abrahamic religions on each other from intellectual, theological, narrative, and jurisprudential perspectives.Our goal is to foster a vibrant and productive conversation that sheds light on the complexities of this relationship and helps to promote greater understanding and cooperation between these traditions.

We are honored to host this event and look forward to a lively and enlightening exchange of ideas and perspectives. Whether you are a scholar, practitioner, or simply interested in this fascinating area of study, we invite you to join us and be a part of this important conversation."

The IMS intends to contribute towards further establishing Mediterranean Studies beyond the frontiers of its native Korea, and to promote this research focus through links with established institutes working on Europe, the Middle East,North Africa, or the Western and Arab world in general.

The IMS is currently supported and funded by the Humanities Korea (HK) Project of the Korea Research Foundation (KRF), a public organization operating under the Ministry of Education in Korea.
