  • Islam Video Collection
    Islam Video Collection The Bridge Films for the Humanities and Sciences, 1998 50 minutes, color This video discusses the ways in which Islam influenced Western medicine by re- examining the medicine of the ancient Greeks. The video begins by briefly discussing the history of Greek medicine, focusing on the ideas of Hippocrates, who began ideas of treating illness using a purely scientific approach, without any magic. The idea of prevention was emphasized in Hippocrates’ theory, which was very sophisticated for his time. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Greek texts were studied by the Muslims while western Europe was still practicing elementary medicine. The video discusses what was added by the Muslims to Greek medical theory in the 11th century, and how Islam encouraged equal treatment for all citizens. Next, the spread of Islam’s medical practices moved to Spain where it was introduced to the West. The video then discusses the beginning of surgery in the West, and the unification of Eastern and Western medicine in the 13th century. The video concludes by discussing the plague in Europe and its influence on medical ideas. This video provides important historical background on the beginnings of Western medicine and its debt to the Islamic world. Esposito April 11, 2002 Color, 75 minutes This is a video of a speech made by John Esposito at GVSU. Professor Esposito is director of Georgetown University’s Center For Muslim-Christian Understanding. Esposito gives a talk in which he compares Islam, Judaism and Christianity. He discusses many of the stereotypes that Westerners have of Muslims and Arabs in general, which often stem from the first real exposure they had to Islam in the Iran Hostage situation in 1979.

  • Pathways of Faith Further Resources
    Pathways of Faith Further Resources Recommended by Frederick M. Denny Frederick Matthewson Denny, An Introduction to Islam (Pearson Prentice-Hall, Fourth Edition, 2011) This introductory text places Islam within a cultural, political, social, and religious context, and examines its connections with Judeo-Christian morals. Its integration of the doctrinal and devotional elements of Islam introduces readers to the ways Muslims think and live, with a view to engendering understanding and breaking down stereotypes. John Renard, Seven Doors to Islam: Spirituality and the Religious Life of Muslims (University of California Press, 1996) Employing a historical perspective, this book provides an interesting and accessible guide to Muslims’ basic beliefs, ethical values, devotional practices, and social-cultural institutions. Topics include the Qur’an and the Hadith (the record of the oral teachings of Muhammad) in Islamic spirituality; the liturgical calendar; the Five Pillars of ritual practice; aesthetics of sound and vision as found in poetry, architecture, and the decorative arts; and how Muslims have sought fulfillment through the centuries by following the examples and testimony of their faith’s great teachers and spiritual guides. Numerous illustrations are included. Martin Lings, Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources (Inner Traditions, 2006) This internationally acclaimed biography of the Prophet Muhammad presents original translations of primary sources from those who knew him, presented in an inspiring narrative style. The final edition, based entirely on eighth- and ninth-century biographical sources and the Hadith, covers the spread of Islam into Syria and beyond during the Prophet’s lifetime. This book helps general readers understand why Muhammad’s life holds such importance in the Islamic world, interweaving verses from the Qur’an artfully with biography.
