Florence Javel

I obtained a degree in History, with a specialisation in the history of religions, at the University of Paul Valéry in 1991.

I started studying theology at the Catholic University of Lyon and at the Theological Institute of Dombes, in 2005. A stay in Morocco, from 2009 to 2012, was at the origin of my questioning of the relationship between Christianity and Islam, and of the Islamic-Christian dialogue. This questioning has been enriched by the experience of other contexts, whether in Spain (2012-2017) or in Lebanon (2017-2021). I obtained a master’s degree in theology at the Faculty of Theology in Lyon in 2016. Currently, I am a doctoral student at the Catholic University of Lyon, I am interested in the Islamologist Maurice Borrmans, in the Islamo-Christian dialogue and in the place of Islam Studies in this dialogue.

Authority and Regulation in Islam (Lyon)

After a research programme on religious, Islamic and Biblical fundamentalism, and a deconstructivist approach to fundamentalism, we thought it was important to approach the notion of authority in link with religion, especially in Islamic context. Persons with authority or identified places of authority are not a simple process. This is all the more true in the Sunni Muslim tradition, the absence of a designation by the Prophet of an institution willing to regulate the religious questions will open the way to a plurality of modalities that may be of theological or theological-political nature.
