No two religions are closer together than Judaism and Islam, yet today, ironically, no two religions are further apart.This 15 week e-learning course is taught in partnership with the School of International Service at the American University in Washington. It will explore the history, culture and theology of Muslims and Jews, reflecting both on similarities and differences as well as the major challenges.
Assisted by leading scholars in the US and Europe with a wealth of experience in this field, the course will also offer strategies for building bridges between the communities.
Applications are now being accepted for the course starting
week commencing 27 August 2012. The closing date for
applications is 6 August 2012.
