Gain an introduction to the history and practice of the world's fastest growing religion in this course taught by an award-winning professor from Georgetown University
In these 12 lectures, Professor Esposito guides you through the facts and myths surrounding Islam and its more than 1.2 billion adherents. They'll help you better understand Islam's role as both a religion and a way of life, and its deep impact on world affairs both historically and today. Moving from Muhammad to the present, from the 7th to the 21st centuries, you'll explore Muslim beliefs, practices, and history in the context of its significance and impact on Muslim life and society through the ages, as well as world events today. Along the way, you'll examine topics including Jihad; Muslim beliefs about other faiths; whether the Quran condones terrorism and what it says about God; the contributions to mathematics, science, and art made by a flourishing Islamic civilization; the role of women in Islam; and whether Islam is compatible with modernization, capitalism, and democracy. These lectures also expand the human dimension to spotlight the ever-increasing reality of Muslims as our neighbors and colleagues in Europe and America, examining how and why Muslims came to Europe and America, and the issues of faith and identity, integration and assimilation, that face them in their new homelands and how they are grappling with these challenges. "We will see that Islam is not monolithic," says Professor Esposito. "Although Muslims share certain core beliefs, the practices, interpretations, images, and realities of Islam vary across time and space."
