Major Themes of the Bible and the Qur’ān*

This course will study in depth the worldviews of the Hebrew Bible [Old Testament], the New Testament and the Qur’ān. This will be done through an examination of common and divergent themes in the three Scriptures. More specifically, we shall study the three major themes of Revelation, Creation and Salvation. Within this framework, we shall pay special attention to such major themes as mercy, love and justice, atonement, sin and forgiveness, and the theology of creation, redemption and eschatology.
