This book deals with various manifestations of charity or giving in
the contexts of the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim societies in Late
Antiquity and Early Middle Ages. Monotheistic charity and giving
display many common features. These underlying similarities reflect
a commonly shared view about God and his relations to mankind and
what humans owe to God and expect from him. Nevertheless, the fact
that the emphasis is placed on similarities does not mean that the
uniqueness of the concepts of charity and giving in the three
monotheistic religions is denied. The contributors of the book deal
with such heterogeneous topics like the language of social justice
in early Christian homilies as well as charity and pious endowments
in medieval Syria, Egypt and al-Andalus during the 11th-15th
centuries. This wide range of approaches distinguish the book from
other works on charity and giving in monotheistic religions.
