\nIn 1649\, the English civil war resulted in the establishment of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell and the execution of King Charles I . In the same year\, the first English translation of the Quran was publis hed in London. For some royalists\, these two events were linked: they bot h signified the ‘moral demise’ of the kingdom\, and indeed some polemicist s depicted Cromwell as a “new Mahomet” (Muhammad) seeking to gain power by attacking the moral and religious foundations of the nation.
\nIn this lecture\, Professor John Tolan will discuss how English authors such as Henry Stubbe\, John Toland and George Sale embrac ed this comparison\, presenting the Muslim prophet as a reformer who preac hed pure monotheism and who abolished the powers of a corrupt clergy.
\nProfessor Tolan will expand on how this compar ison was used to argue for the curtailing of the power of the Anglican Chu rch\; with 18th-century French authors similarly lionising the prophet as a polemical tool against the Catholic church.
\nThe lecture will conclude by arguing that Muhammad – seen as an imposte r or a reformer – was at the centre of European debates on the proper rela tions between Church\, Crown and people.

\nCommunities of trust\, expert knowledge\, reliability of evidence\, and c ompeting rationalities have become central issues in public health respons es to the global pandemic. This conference foregrounds how religious ident ity has been a significant factor in shaping\, producing\, and permeating individual and collective discourses and choices around health\, healing\, and vaccination. These discussions have had significant impacts upon indi viduals’ health\, as well as affecting national and international policies related to COVID-19.
\nIn response\, this co nference will explore a plurality of contemporary global framings that rel ate to beliefs about health and healing\, particularly those pertaining to religious worldviews. It will explore how various competing and marginali sed understandings are drawn upon by individuals and groups when making ch oices about health and wellbeing. Attention will be given to both the bene ficial and detrimental effects that these diverse worldviews may have for public health with specific attention to the recent pandemic.
