The religious histories of Christian and Muslim countries in Europe
and Western Asia are often treated in isolation from one another.
This can lead to a limited and simplistic understanding of the
international and interreligious interactions currently taking
place. This edited collection brings these national and religious
narratives into conversation with each other, helping readers to
formulate a more sophisticated comprehension of the social and
cultural factors involved in the tolerance and intolerance that has
taken place in these areas, and continues today. Part One of this
volume examines the history of relations between people of
different Christian confessions in western and central Europe. Part
Two then looks at the relations between Western and Eastern
Orthodox Christianity, Islam and Judaism in the vast area that
extends around the Mediterranean from the Iberian Peninsula to
western Asia. Each Part ends with a Conclusion that considers the
wider implications of the preceding essays and points the way
toward future research. Bringing together scholars from Asia, the
Middle East, Europe, and America this volume embodies an
international collaboration of unusual range. Its comparative
approach will be of interest to scholars of Religion and History,
particularly those with an emphasis on interreligious relations and
religious tolerance.
