Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Islamic Theological Studies is a young discipline at European universities. As a confession-oriented and interdisciplinary subject, it deals with the various internal Islamic doctrines and currents in their plurality and heterogeneity. The main focus is on the one hand on the reflexive and scholarly reappraisal of the Islamic theological tradition and on the other hand on the reconstruction and critique of the methods and theories of the individual disciplines of Islamic theology in order to place the methods, teachings and theories in a new context and thus to update them.
In the first part of the lecture, therefore, basic information, theories and methods about Islamic Theological Studies and their primary sources are conveyed in an overview, which are important for further studies. Furthermore, the students will be enabled to justify the theoretical and methodological characteristics of Islamic Theological Studies in comparison to other disciplines that deal with Islam from an external perspective.
