Islam and Christianity in Dialogue

This course engages the quest for truth and meaning in the faith traditions and practices of Islam and Christianity through the lens of comparative theology. We will use textual, historical, social, cultural, and gender analyses to examine and reflect on understandings of God, scripture, worship, sacred rites and rituals, religious law, and membership in the faith community, in addition to a comparative approach to Biblical and Quranic narratives, characters, and concepts of prophethood and saints, with special emphasis given to Jesus, Muhammad, and the Virgin Mary.
