JWST 391 - Topics in Comp. Religion-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Unit(s): 4

This course is a comparative study of three important monotheistic religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Readings and assignments focus on how each understood its origin and evolution and their similarities and differences in matters of scripture, worship, authority, community, theology, and mysticism. Although rooted in religious studies, this interdisciplinary course also explores the cultural and political elements that have framed relations between and within the three groups.
