1 Preliminary Syllabus: SHI`ITE ISLAM: Thought and History Hartford Seminary Fall 2015 Instructor: Dr. Sayed Ammar Nakhjavani Course Description: This course will be based on the assumption that Islam is both a belief system and a world civilization. Therefore, all movements, sects and schools of thought will be treated as an integral part of Islam, broadly understood. The course will introduce Shi`ism as a general phenomenon within Muslim history, but will concentrate on Twelver Imami Shi ism, as it is the most developed and influential Shi ite legal school (madhhab). We will study Shi ism in Muslim history from its beginning to the present. We will examine primary texts in translation, and when possible, in original languages. We will also read and discuss a good sampling of secondary literature. This is a graduate seminar that will be based on class participation and lectures. Grading will be based on class attendance and participation, weekly readings and discussions, and a class presentation of an individual research of a topic that will be developed into a page final term paper. Grading:
2 Grades will be computed as follows: class participation, discussion and leading weekly book discussions 30%; class presentation of research topic 20%; and final term paper 50%. Policy: The instructor will use the official Hartsem student addresses for all communications. Please check your Hartsem account regularly. Office Hours: Office hours will be determined by the needs and schedules of the students. Required Readings: 1. Amir-Moezzi, Mohammad Ali. (David Streight, trans. And ed.).
