(Jewish-Christian-Muslim Conversations) This course examines the role the Christian Testament plays in including Jews and Judaism in the Christian story, and the Qur'anic treatment of Christians/Christianity and Jews/Judaism. We consider the relationships among these three monotheistic traditions in the course of their shared history up to our own day. We will study both positive and negative moments in these conversations. Finally, we will explore ways of healing the rifts that have developed in the course of these conversations. Prerequisite: any course in religion, junior standing or consent of the instructor. .
