The course intends to offer as much insight into unfolding events as possible. It is important to get grounded in the area’s ancient history, faith and culture, moving from approximately 3,500 BC into the Greco-Roman era, into the period when the Christian West begins to impact the Arabic/Muslim world, and into the colonial era, leading to the Age of Oil, its wars and tensions.
