10:00AM - Great Courses
Platform: Zoom
Professor Oliver continues to present the Qur'anic perspective on several familiar religious themes. In Lecture 9 Prophethood in the Qur’an: Jesus and Others, we will learn that numerous other Biblical figures also appear in the Qur’an, including Jesus, Mary, Noah, and Joseph (of Genesis). Each account has parallels to the stories presented in the Christian and our Jewish traditions, but the Qur’anic versions emphasize the oneness and exclusive divinity of God.
Lecture 10 From the Qur’an to Islam: Creating a Practice, tries to answer these questions: How did the Five Pillars of Islam grow from deep roots in the Qur’an? How might the words and deeds of the Prophet provide insight for believers? Finally, what role does this struggle to understand, from the Arabic word ijtihad, play in the ritual practices that define Islam? Delve into each pillar and its Qur’anic origins, as well as the substantial interpretive history of Islam.
Each lecture is 25-30 minutes and we will take time for discussion and comments among the group after each lecture
Questions about the lectures can be directed to Saul Rapkin .
