Students will begin with a general survey of Islam from its origins to its contemporary global presence, with particular emphasis on Islamic communities in eastern Asia. The course will focus on the Q'uran and places Islam within its various cultural, political, social, and religious contexts and examines its connections with Judeo-Christian theology and morals. The expectation is that such an integrative study of the doctrinal and devotional elements of Islam will enable students to see how Muslims think and live--engendering understanding and breaking down stereotypes.
