The Quran

Part of The Great Books series

1 Class Session

The central religious text of Islam is one of the most important yet least understood books in human history. Since the United States became involved in the Muslim world, a number of Americans have made claims about the Quran to argue for various military interventions against its adherents. In the 21st century the Quran has been the target of special criticism by many Western political leaders, who maintain that it contains the original causes of terrorism, war, and the repression of individual freedoms.

In this one-session live interactive webinar, we will examine the text of the Islamic holy book, paying special attention to its positions on vengeance, self-determination, sexuality, pleasure, and the appropriate power and freedom for men and women.
