Encounters with the Other: Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Dialogue and Interaction
This course will explore the theme of Abrahamic encounter, that is, the interaction and exchange between adherents of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, both in its bilateral and trilateral forms. Taken into consideration will be not only recent formal statements, but also reflections by theologians, scholars, and reflective practitioners from all three faith traditions. In addition to theological matters, the topics under discussion will include issues of social, political, and ecological relevance.
The aim of the course is to understand how a religious other is thematized in theological talk in relation to contemporary life.
Requirements for passing the course: active participation at class (incl. assigned readings), oral presentation, final essay.
