Stories between Christianity and Islam offers an original and
nuanced understanding of Christian-Muslim relations that shifts
focus from discussions of superiority, conflict, and appropriation
to the living world of connectivity and creativity. Here, the late
antique and medieval Near East is viewed as a world of stories
shared by Christians and Muslims. Public storytelling was a key
feature for these late antique Christian and early Islamic
communities, where stories of saints were used to interpret the
past, comment on the present, and envision the future. In this
book, Reyhan Durmaz uses these stories to demonstrate and analyze
the mutually constitutive relationship between these two religions
in the Middle Ages. With an in-depth study of storytelling in Late
Antiquity and the mechanisms of hagiographic transmission between
Christianity and Islam in the Middle Ages, Durmaz develops a
nuanced understanding of saints' stories as a tool for building
identity, memory, and authority across confessional boundaries.
