IFL 635 (formerly REL 625) - The Concept of the Saint in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
All three of the Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have a concept of what makes a person a “saint.” The course investigates how these three definitions are similar and how they differ. The course also tackles the questions of whether it is possible for a sinner to become a saint, and how saints may be among us today.
