Muslims are often depicted as a monolithic group with a linear history. However, Muslims have been diverse in their thinking since at least the 640s. This course will explore approximately ten different interpretive traditions and how and why they came to be. Topics covered will be varying views on scripture, law, science, history, and Evolutionary Biology. The intention of this course will be discussion based as opposed to lecture based. It will be a combination of presentation, in-class reading and discussions, discussions over various clips, etc.
