BIBL 622 - Bible and the Koran

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Biblical Studies

Description:

This is an introductory course in comparative studies of the Bible and the Koran. Students will learn basic facts with regard to the formation, place, function, and the basic theological teachings of the religious texts in each religious community. Our primary concern is not the religion itself but the sacred texts of the religion. We will focus on literary analysis of Koranic suras that are related to the themes of gods, prophets, salvation, Jihad, women, Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The goal of this course is to equip future church leaders with in-depth knowledge of the Koran so that they may serve, love, and bear witness to their Muslim neighbors.
