About this course

This course examines various trends and methodological approaches by which Christians have interpreted the Qurn. The semester begins by surveying premodern trends, including Qurn translations, privileging primary sources when possible. Most of the course concentrates on 20 th and 21 st century engagement with Islams sacred text, including debates about orientalism and postcolonial theory. Theological questions include general discussions of whether and how Christians may consider the Qurn revealed and/or inspired along with focused discussions of particular passages of pertinence to Christian comparative theology. Knowledge of Arabic beneficial but not necessary; all required readings exist in English translation. Cross-listed in ICSP.
