Course Description
En este curso, estructurado en 13 breves lecciones, recorremos la historia del Islam, sus principales creencias y su división en sunnis y shi’itas con el objetivo de comprender los fundamentos históricos y teológicos de una de los fenómenos religiosos más influyentes del mundo moderno.
En elzoologicodeyahve.com creemos firmemente en aquella frase de Hans Küng que dice: “No habrá paz entre las naciones, sin paz entre las religiones. No habrá paz entre las religiones sin diálogo entre sus adherentes. No habrá diálogo entre los creyentes sin una investigación detenida de los fundamentos del credo de los demás”.

About the Instructor
Claudia Ruiz Arriola
Fiel al principio heracliteano de “la única constante de la existencia es el cambio”, a la fecha lleva tres reencarnaciones en esta vida:
En la primera estudió Administración y Mercadotecnia para dizque ganarse la vida de manera creativa, pero un año antes de terminar su carrera se topó con Sócrates (el de la Apología de Platón) y se convirtió a la socrática religión de ironía y dudas que aún profesa hoy en día.
En la segunda reencarnación decidió doctorarse en filosofía, estudiando bajo la batuta de Aristóteles (el discípulo de Platón NO el político priísta) e hizo una serie de pininos laborales intentando aplicar las ideas socrático-aristótelicas a la “vida real” (whatever that means) con incursiones de moderado éxito en la academia, la industria y los medios de comunicación.
Ha impartido clases de Humanidades, Ética y Geopolítica en la Universidad Panamericana y el Tec de Monterrey. Por once años fue editorialista del Grupo Reforma y Presidente de la Asociación de Ex-Becarios Brockmann de la American Chamber of Commerce of Mexico.
A mediados del 2008 se enamoró perdidamente de Heidegger (al purito estilo de Hannah Arendt) y comenzó la ardua labor de aprender a pensar “de a deveras” (cuestión en la que confiesa apenas va en Kinder). Ha publicado 6 libros sobre Geopolítica, Historia de las Religiones e Historia de la Filosofía y mantiene el blog www.elzoologicodeyahve.com

Ancient Israel by Daniel Fleming (New York University)
Source: New York University
Fleming’s ancient Israel is strange, sometimes shocking, diverse, and mostly hidden. It can be approached from archaeology and non-biblical writing as well as from the Bible as its most famous artifact. Fleming is a biblical scholar and student of ancient literature, so this class will lean toward what is written, embracing the Bible as a source. In a broadly chronological framework, we will ask what Fleming hopes to be unfamiliar questions, trying to get you to see things you had not considered before. The course assumes no prior knowledge, and all knowledge is built from the ground up based on “primary evidence,” the actual material from the ancient world – including the Bible.

Ph.D. 1990 Harvard; M.Div. 1985, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; B.S. 1979 Stanford.
