RLST149 CM - Islamic Thought

This course is an overview of selected elements of Islamic thought from its inception to the present. In our explorations, we will touch on some of the major theological and philosophical questions that scholars have debated for centuries. Some of these questions include those related to the nature of God’s speech, the extent of divine involvement in worldly affairs, how to lead an ethical life, and the boundaries of true belief. We will then spend significant time addressing questions related to modernity, reform, and Islamism.
