This course introduces students to the basic texts, institutions, and practices of Western religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The course begins with the figure of Abraham and seeks to understand how each tradition appropriates the notions of faith and sacrifice that he embodies. The students then familiarize themselves with the religions of the Book by reading selections from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and the Qur'an.
