REL 200 - Religious Conflict Israel / Palestine

4 credit(s)
Introduction to how religion plays a critical role in both the conflict and search for peace in modern Israel / Palestine. Students will explore the historical and political roots of conflict in the region, and be introduced to competing narratives found in Israel / Palestine. As the area plays a central role in the three Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Chrisitanity, and Islam), course participants will explore how religion defines much of what shapes the debate over the stalled peace process.
