The Middle East: A Clash of Faiths   
The University of Sydney

Sydney - Inner West
160 Missenden Road, Newtown

The conflict in the Middle East can be traced back into ancient history to the Egyptians, the Jews, the followers of Baal, the Zoroastrians and the pagans of Greece and Rome. The arrival of the Christians brought another competing religion, and later the Muslims completed the picture. This course will look at all these religions and how people have fought under their different banners for control and ownership of not only Palestine but the whole area from Turkey to Persia. Details of this course may be subject to change. Please visit our website for more information or to register.

Duration: 120 Minutes x 6 Sessions
