Course: National Osher Online - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: A Comparative Exploration (OSH-PXNRC153)

This course is a comparative exploration of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, focusing on rituals, beliefs, and foundational writings. We will learn what it means to study religion comparatively while examining both the shared elements and distinct differences. Each religion traces its roots to Abraham and embraces monotheism, offering a common foundation for discussion. We will explore key practices and beliefs, such as prayer, sacred texts, and understandings of the divine, and consider how they align or diverge across traditions. We will also engage with selected readings from each religion to better understand the theological and cultural dimensions of these Abrahamic faiths.
