Religious Conflict and Resolution Among the Abrahamic Religions
Course Description
What are the religions of Abraham? Are they bound for peace or conflict? This course introduces students to the scriptural sources and medieval to modern practices of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism including key historical narratives from the Qur'an, and the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. An examination of the role these scriptures play in people's lives is followed by focusing on the 'hot spots' of inter-Abrahamic conflict today.
