On Thursday 21 May 2026 at 6:30 pm, the Institut Fran\u00e7ais de Civilisation Musulmane<\/em> (IFCM) in Lyon will host a lecture by Michel Youn\u00e8s<\/strong><\/a>, Professor of Theology and Islamic Studies at the Catholic University of Lyon (UCLy) and General Coordinator of Pluriel, entitled “Islam and Muslims: Doctrines, Schools, and Current Trends”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Islam, as a historical, religious, and civilisational reality, resists easy definition. It can be understood as a form of political governance, an expression of faith, a social vision with regulatory practices, or as a civilisational and cultural heritage. From its earliest days and throughout its history, Islam has transformed the ways of inhabiting these realities, making it impossible to describe as a monolithic phenomenon. Islam is, in fact, plural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture extends the reflection developed in L’islam et les musulmans. Doctrines, \u00e9coles et tendances actuelles<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (Cerf, “Patrimoines” series), which offers a historical and theological reading of the currents shaping contemporary Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
