The Qur'an Between Judaism and Christianity at FutureLearn Course details
- This online course will illustrate how the Qur'an situates itself as part of, and as a correction to, the religious discourse of the Jewish and Christian communities of Late Antique Arabia
- The course will use the Qur'an, as well as Jewish and Christian historical documents, to reconstruct the religious landscape to which the Muslim scripture reacts in a pointed, precise and nuanced way
- This will give you a historically more informed understanding of nascent Islam, and will allow you to reconsider many of theological and cultural tenets of Late Antique Judaism and Christianity
