This Reader brings together nearly 80 extracts from major works by
Christians and Muslims that reflect their reciprocal knowledge and
attitudes. It spans the period from the early 7th century, when
Islam originated, to 1500. The general introduction provides a
historical and geographical summary of Christian-Muslim encounters
in the period and a short account of the religious, intellectual
and social circumstances in which encounters took place and works
were written. Topics from the Christian perspective include:
condemnations of the Qur'an as a fake and Muhammad as a fraud,
depictions of Islam as a sign of the final judgement, and proofs
that it was a Christian heresy. On the Muslim side they include:
demonstrations of the Bible as corrupt, proofs that Christian
doctrines were illogical, comments on the inferior status of
Christians, and accounts of Christian and Muslim scholars in
collaboration together. Each of the six parts contains the
following pedagogical features: -A short introduction -An
introduction to each passage and author -Notes explaining terms
that readers might not have previously encountered
