它研究了伊斯蘭神學、古蘭經的起源和解釋以及伊斯蘭改革者對 19 世紀和 20 世紀現代性和後現代性的反應等問題。
它也反映了從大馬士革的約翰、中世紀早期的大都會提摩太到當今的辯論、辯護和對話方式時代的穆斯林與基督教徒接觸有關的神學和傳教問題。

For those
wanting to deepen their understanding and engagement with the Islamic world,
this course explores the history, theology and diversity of Islam and
implications for Christian engagement from the early years of Islam until the
present.
It observes Islam’s historical
development from its commencement and through the periods of medieval
civilisation, the crusades, and colonialism.
It examines issues in Islamic theology, Qur’anic origins and
interpretation, and the response of Islamic reformers to modernity and
post-modernity in the 19th and 20th centuries.
It also reflects on the
theological and missional concerns related to Muslim-Christian encounter from
John of Damascus, Metropolitan Timothy of the Early Middle Ages up to the
present era of polemical, apologetic, and dialogical approaches.
Attention is
also given to various expressions of Islam such as Shi’ism, Sufism, Salafism,
secular Islam, and the spiritual world of Islam.
Trends and implications for
Christian engagement are interwoven with the above themes.
