Neighboring faiths : Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in the Middle Ages and today
Nirenberg, David, 1964-2016
Books
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are usually treated as autonomous religions, but in fact across the long course of their histories the three religions have developed in interaction with one another. In this book, David Nirenberg examines how Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived with and thought about each other during the Middle Ages and what the medieval past can tell us about how they do so today. There have been countless scripture-based studies of the three 'religions of the book,' but Nirenberg goes beyond those to pay close attention to how the three religious neighbors loved, tolerated, massacred, and expelled each other - all in the name of God - in periods and places both long ago and far away.
