Course Objectives The course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of Islam and its interwoven socio-political and theological histories, and, in particular, the socio-political ramifications of its rapid geo-political expansion during the 7th and 8th centuries, the theological ramifications of the 'exotic' ideas it absorbed in the course of this expansion, and the theological means by which these ramifications were subsequently reconciled with the fundamental tenets of Islamic orthodoxy.
