HIST 1603 - JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This is a study of the beliefs and practices of the three major monotheistic religions. The course examines the historical origins, development, theological concepts and worship practices of what are sometimes called 'the Abrahamic faiths.' It emphasizes the distinct character of each religion as well as variations within each, and seeks to discern continuity and differences among the three. This course is designed to be a companion to History/RELGST 1602, religions of the world ' to provide a more searching treatment of the Western religious traditions. The approach combines elements of a seminar, in which student preparation and participation are important, with lecture segments and also makes significant use of video and web-based resources.
