Theology courses numbered 221-229+300 are reserved for students on the new core curriculum. If this section of the class appears to have very few seats, it is because the rest of the seats in the classroom will be occupied by students in the equivalent course on the “old core.” In this course, we will examine, compare, and contrast the key texts, theological and ethical perspectives, and historical trajectories of Islam and Christianity. We will look at the Abrahamic roots of the two religious traditions, their variant interpretations of major Biblical and Qur’anic stories and texts, and the commonalities and differences in their theological and ethical perspectives. We will also study the long and often conflictual historical interaction of the two traditions and their responses to modernity. Topics may include Islamic and Christian views of: God, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, humanity, sin, prophecy, scripture, tradition, commandments and laws, rituals, religious authority, and secularism and modernity.
