Suitable for those wanting to deepen their understanding and engagement with the Islamic world, this course explores the diversity of contextual issues related to Christian engagement with Islam from the early years of Islam until the present.  It observes theological and missional concerns by highlighting Christian responses to Islam from John of Damascus and Metropolitan Timothy of the Early Middle Ages to current interaction. It also reflects on perspectives of Islamic reformers towards the West and the Christian faith primarily during the periods of colonialism and decolonisation. Attention is also given to various expressions of Islam; the status of women in Islam; contextualisation in the intercultural world; and geo-political issues, and contemporary trends related to current global engagement.

Please note you are expected to have a good level of English Language (equivalent to 7.0 IELTS) to participate in the course.
