RST 301 - Islam and the Bible: Jewish and Muslim Morality and EthicsThree Credits
Fall Semester
As brother religions vying for the same sacred history, Islam and Judaism trace the genesis of their spiritual and biological communities back to the very same founding parents. Yet Islam is not Judaism, Muslims are not Jews, and vice versa. Rather, the two traditions are, and understand themselves to be, distinct entities with distinct value systems. By comparing the Jewish and Muslim accounts of the shared Biblical ancestors, as well the often colorful exegesis on these narratives, this course will investigate various matters of moral and ethical concern to these communities and the lessons thereby imparted by each tradition.
Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): One 100-Level Religious Studies & Theology Cornerstone Course.
General Education Attribute(s): Catholic Intellectual Traditions, Moral Inquiry
Course Applies to: Middle Eastern Studies
Note: Formerly offered as REL 301 (F.2019). Students may not take both RST 301 & REL 301.
