Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course surveys the historical interaction between Christian and Muslim communities over the past 1400 years and focuses on the art of polemic as an important tool in the human construction of religious concepts. We will begin by understanding the evolution of Islam in the seventh century, and continue with the encounters between Islam and the byzantine empire, and the medieval caliphate's encounters with the West, including the crusades. We will then consider specific elements of the interaction between Christian and Muslim communities, drawing from a variety of Muslim communities in Europe and the United States.
