Transcription
1 In this course on Sacred Text of Mideast Traditions we are introduced to a selection of ancient texts formative to the traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Approaching these texts sets our course for discovery to literally discover, uncover and reveal. At the outset we should acknowledge the texts we can read were originally orally and aurally transmitted, cherished and preserved. The texts we read are the result of scribing and recording of culture, experience, expression and mores by individuals and communities. Recognizing this development prompts us to further appreciate the complexity of these texts. We will become familiar with and learn to employ textual, interpretative and tradition based tools with which we shall examine these texts and wonder at what they may hold. Our texts also reveal stories and events that the Mideast traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam hold as significant and formative. The three traditions celebrate these events as sacred, holy days that include Pesach, Easter (Pascha), and Eid aladha, each ritualized with food, symbol, and expression of faith. We have three broad goals in this course: 1) Bring life to these readings through engaged reading, discussion, interpretation and creative reflection 2) Foster vital effective individual and communal learning experience 3) Discover in these readings many of the roots that inform ideas and practices in monotheistic traditions We will read from Genesis, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Psalms, Gospels of Mark, Matthew, John and Thomas, and the Qurʹan. And we shall follow particular ancient stories that appear in the texts of these traditions and continue to resonate today. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, for example, still provokes hot debate on issues of free will, gender equality or inequality, evil, faith and divine purpose. Such texts are more than the sum of their words. They inspire and provoke us; they are portals to rich human experience. During the semester, we will each have the opportunity to volunteer for two half day food based service placements (such as a soup kitchen or meal distribution). Located near campus the placements are coordinated through Fordham s Community Service Program. In performing this service we are also practicing a tenet of Fordham s mission. We also learn experientially, and may be more able to consider our readings, ourselves and our community. We are invited to become engaged both in and out of class. Note about the course content: Fordham Theology Department guidelines for this course charge learners to explore sacredtext and scripture of the Mid East. Learners should not presume for this course to be, or to replace, a survey of religions. Notes Organization of the readings: Scripture and sacred text readings in Judaism, Christianity and Islam comprise the first section of our Course Reader. The other units serve to compliment and broaden our enquiry in these sacred texts. Organized thus aids our broader and cross reading throughout the course. For example, a sura from The Qurʹan can easily be accessed and read with a selection from The Gospel of Matthew and from Genesis. Scripture and sacred text readings are assigned for any class meeting are listed first under that day. Readings may be substituted during the semester. Please check our website regularly for updates. Full bibliographic references of the texts cited below are listed in the Table of Contents in the 2811 Course Reader. Syllabus (By unit) Unit one: What is Religion?
