RLGN 284: Jesus Through Islamic Lens
3.00 Credits
Case Western Reserve University
An introduction to an image of Jesus little known outside Arabic Islamic culture. It is an image that might be of interest to those who wish to understand how Jesus was perceived by a religious tradition which greatly revered him but rejected his divinity. The course will draw from various Islamic texts to provide a comprehensive selection of excerpts pertaining to the life and moral teachings of Jesus. Approaching Christ from an Islamic perspective, this course will offer the students a rare opportunity to understand the significance of Jesus in Islam and to gain a better understanding of the Islamic faith, not only as it contrasts with Christianity but also as it compares.
