This course surveys two of the world’s great monotheistic faiths. As much as modern conflict between these two religions might suggest otherwise, Judaism and Islam, like Christianity, trace their roots back to Abraham, the Old Testament patriarch traditionally identified as the first person to worship the one God. In addition to introducing the historical origins and sacred scripture of these two faiths, this course will also explore Judaism and Islam as they are practiced and lived today.
