THEO-131 Interreligious Encounter and Dialogue I
Fall only
Convinced that our religious beliefs and spiritual practices can and should play an important part in the way we live, work, play, and pray together, this class serves as an interactive introduction to interreligious encounter and dialogue among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Tri-facilitated by resident Jewish, Christian, and Muslim clergy-professors, the semester's learning experience exposes students to the general history, primary teachings, and major points of intersection/contrast among the three Abrahamic faiths.
Theoretical and practical understandings of interreligious dialogue will also be examined as they occur on both the personal and institutional level. Issues of peace and justice, religious vocations/personal spirituality, as well as Middle East conflict round out the curriculum. Grade will be primarily based on class participation, theological reflection projects, and integrated exams.
