Jewish - Christian - Muslim Relations


Minor Requirements


Religious ignorance is a luxury no one can afford. Religion (like sex, money and power) is one of the great motivators of human behavior. People do amazing and horrific things all in the name of their god(s). Those who minor in Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations study how these three great faiths have interacted over the centuries, not simply out of an interest in history, but also out of concern for our future.

The Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations minor consists of 20 credits.

There are three required components

Note


The remaining two courses are electives drawn from a broad range of relevant studies. Some of the electives are outside of the Religious & Theological Studies Department. The two electives must focus on two different traditions. A list of approved courses is below.

Finally, all minors engage with Jews, Christians, Muslims and others, in active interfaith work promoting social, political and economic justice.
