This collection takes a new approach to understanding religious
plurality in the Iberian Peninsula and its Mediterranean and
northern European contexts. Focusing on polemics-works that attack
or refute the beliefs of religious Others-this volume aims to
challenge the problematic characterization of Iberian Jews,
Muslims, and Christians as homogeneous groups. From the high Middle
Ages to the end of the seventeenth century, Christian efforts to
convert groups of Jews and Muslims, Muslim efforts to convert
Christians and Jews, and the defensive efforts of these communities
to keep their members within the faiths led to the production of
numerous polemics. This volume brings together a wide variety of
case studies that expose how the current historiographical focus on
the three religious communities as allegedly homogeneous groups
obscures the diversity within the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim
communities as well as the growing ranks of skeptics and outright
unbelievers. Featuring contributions from a range of academic
disciplines, this paradigm-shifting book sheds new light on the
cultural and intellectual dynamics of the conflicts that marked
relations among these religious communities in the Iberian
Peninsula and beyond. In addition to the editors, the contributors
are Antoni Biosca i Bas, Thomas E. Burman, Monica Colominas
Aparicio, John Dagenais, Oscar de la Cruz, Borja Franco Llopis,
Linda G. Jones, Daniel J. Lasker, Davide Scotto, Teresa Soto, Ryan
Szpiech, Pieter Sjoerd van Koningsveld, and Carsten Wilke.
