Islam and Its Influence in Turkey (UMAIE)
This course is designed to familiarize students with the basic beliefs and practices of Islam in its diverse cultural expressions worldwide, including worship, family life and intellectual and artistic traditions. Because this course is taught in Turkey, it will focus especially on Islam as a way of life in Turkey. Through close reading of Qur'anic and biblical texts, students will consider how Islam is both similar to and different from the other major monotheistic faiths, Judaism and Christianity. Finally, the course will examine how both Islam and Christianity are meeting the challenges of modern culture.
