Christianity and Islam

1)World’s most widely distributed (diffused) religion and largest by number of followers 2) Regional distribution: 37% in the Americas; 26% in Europe; 24% in sub-Saharan Africa; 13% in Asia 3)Africa and Asia are the fastest growing regions of Christianity

1) Based on the teachings of Jesus (circa 3 BC – 30 AD)

Jesus Christ took on the sins of humanity when He died on the cross so that whoever believes in His death and resurrection and accepts Him as their Lord and Savior is redeemed from sin and given eternal life

1)Missionaries first spread Christianity as they traveled throughout the major cities of the Roman Empire 2)Constantine was Rome’s first Christian Emperor (313) and Emperor Theodosius made it Rome’s official religion in 380 (hierarchical diffusion) 3)Since 1500: Christianity spread through relocation (colonialism and migration) and contagious (missionary activity) diffusion

a) Oldest denomination of Christianity and largest denomination of any religion in the world b) Based in Vatican City (Rome) and headed by the Pope c) Predominant in South and East Europe and Latin America d) United States: Northeast (Irish, Italians), Louisiana (French), southwest (Latinos)

1) Second largest religion and fastest growing a)Global Muslim population is forecast to have an average annual growth rate of 1.5% compared with 0.7% for non-Muslims b)In US, Muslim population will more than double from 2.6 million (0.8% of population) in 2010 to 6.2 million (1.7%) in 2030 because of immigration and higher-than- average TFR among Muslims. 2) Muslims predominantly live in Pacific Asia (62%), Middle East/North Africa (20%), and sub-Saharan Africa (15%)

1) Based on the teachings of Mohammed (circa 570 – 632)

1)When Mohammed died, he had only daughters and had not named a successor => 10-year battle was waged over who should be caliph (“successor of the prophet”) a)Shi’ites claimed that the caliph must be from the bloodline of Mohammed => backed his cousin and son- in-law Ali b)Sunnis argued that the position should go to the most worthy Muslim regardless of bloodline => backed Mohammed’s father-in-law and closest advisor, Abu Bakr

2)By the time of Mohammed’s death in 632, Islam had diffused throughout most of present-day Saudi Arabia along the trade routes (contagious) 3)Spread by military conquest over large areas of Africa, Asia, and Europe (relocation and hierarchical); later by Arab traders into Africa and Southeast Asia (relocation and contagious)

1) Sunni: Majority of Muslims; centered in Saudi Arabia (80-90%) 2) Shi’ite/Shia: Centered in Iran with most living in Iran or Iraq

Mosques with minarets (representing the vertical relationship between heaven and earth)

1)Sharia Law: Strict Islamic law that does not separate church and state and is based on the Qur’an 2)Theocracy: A state ruled by religious, not political, leaders 3)Imam: Leader of a mosque (Shia will often use the term mullah)
