The interaction between Muslims and the other religious
denominations of the Middle East in the period 620-1020 is the
subject of this volume. This is arguably the single most important
issue in the history of the early Islamic Middle East, since the
Muslims were initially a minority in the lands that they had
conquered and so had to reach some modus vivendi with the various
religious communities in their realm. Fifteen articles by leading
scholars shed light on this process from a number of different
perspectives: historical, conceptual, legal, social and
theological. An introduction both gives an overview and examines
possibilities for future research. The period under study is
demarcated at one end by the Prophet Muhammed (d. 632) who, as the
Qur'an tells us, had to deal with Jews, Christians and polytheists.
At the other end lies the great legal/political thinker Manardi (d.
ca. 1020), by whose time the Middle East had become substantially
Islamicised.
