Religiosity in the Middle East and the US
Academic Noncredit

This course examines religion and religiosity in the USA and the Middle East. It considers historical, economic, and political settings such as the emergence of monotheism, nationalism, and terrorism in which these two concepts are used, or abused, for the real or perceived benefit of involved parties. The course will provide students with a better understanding of relationships between Islam, Christianity and Judaism in the Middle East and the USA, and those who represent or misrepresent them to the general public.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course.

Online book and material fees may be added up until the first week of class. Students may opt out during the first two weeks of class. For more information, visit the Campus Store Inclusive Access Program's webpage. If you opt out, you will be responsible for obtaining the course materials yourself for the course.
