Course Description

The Bible and the Qur'an are often compared to each other whenever Christians and Muslims are discussing faith matters. They are typically compared in various ways, such as preservation of the text, formation of canon, theology, and any contradictions. Without a doubt, there are many facets to the Bible vs. Qur'an debate on the differences, as well as similarities, between both of these books. However, the fundamental issue behind this scholarly debate is always concerned with this vital question: Which one of these two sacred books is the inspired Word of God? The purpose of this course is to assist students in comparing and contrasting the Bible vs. the Qur'an through the utilization of a critical analysis approach by allowing for tensions between traditional and modern views.
