The matter of Christian-Muslim relations cannot be ignored these
days. While the term itself may not appear all that often,
relations between the two faiths and their reciprocal perceptions
are undeniable influences behind many current conflicts,
declarations of mutual recognition and peace negotiations, not to
mention the brooding hatred of religious extremists. Since 9/11,
relations between the two faiths have, in one form or another,
hardly been away from the news. This Handbook contains fundamental
information about the major aspects of relations between Christians
and Muslims. Its various sections follow the history from the early
seventh century to the present, the major religious issues that
have led to disputes between the two faiths, and the political
implications of religious differences at various stages through
history, as well as in the present. It includes analysis of
scriptural and theological themes and explores the characteristics
of relations at important points in history and also in various
parts of the world today. Chapters are devoted to the most
significant intellectual interpretations and encounters, the main
armed clashes, including the Crusades, and the important documents
issued by each faith that in recent years have led the way towards
new developments in recognition and acceptance. With chapters
written by some of the foremost experts in the field, the book
traces the largely dark history of relations and explains the
underlying reasons why Muslims and Christians have found tolerance
and respect for the other difficult. It is an excellent resource
for understanding the past and for highlighting lessons for future
relations between the world's two largest religions.
