TRS 395B War and Peace in the Abrahamic Traditions

This course examines reflection on war and peace in the Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). The course introduces students to the historical development of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim views of war and peace with attention to how the theological reading of sacred texts shaped each tradition. The course also examines contemporary views of war and peace among the three Abrahamic traditions as well as a variety of interfaith peacemaking practices that have emerged as a result of interreligious dialogue.
