This course explores the pivotal role of prophets and prophecy in the Bible and the Qur’an, together with Christian and Muslim understanding of these concepts. The course examines the Bible’s prophetic narrative and writings in relation to Jesus the Messiah as the “fulfillment” of prophecy and compares these narratives theologically with the Qur’an’s “prophet story” pattern in relation to Muhammad as their “epitome.” Biblical characters such as Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus are compared theologically with their qur’anic counterparts to illuminate the place of prophecy in the two worldviews. George Bristow. 10 weeks beginning October 3, 2022.
