Description: Editorial ReviewsReview"It's no surprise that Nirenberg's new book, Neighboring Faiths, isn't a feel-good story about how we can all get along. The identities of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, he argues, are fundamentally enmeshed; how one group thinks about itself cannot be separated from how it thinks about the others. . . . If Nirenberg is right that ideas matter, especially once they have hardened into what he calls 'habits of thought,' our concern about the future relations between Jews, Christians, and Muslims should make us study the ideas they had about themselves and one another in the past."-- Carlos Fraenkel ― London Review of Books"Nirenberg unpacks five hundred years of Western fantasies about Islam, ranging from barbarous invaders to utopian tolerance, a phenomenon he labels the 'inseparability of exclusion and inclusion.' . . . The essays in this book are learned, provocative, and consistently thought-provoking."-- Alex J. Novikoff ― Marginalia“The scope of Neighboring Faiths reaches beyond the Middle Ages and appeals to a broader audience. . . . An important read for anyone from the undergraduate level up who is interested in the history or historiography of identity, religion, and Christian-Muslim-Jewish relations.”― Medieval Encounters“[Nirenberg] illustrates quite compellingly how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam continued to influence and shape each other; identifies historical processes of transformation; and reveals that the relationships were never static. . . . His arguments about the shared history of the three monotheistic religions are persuasive. . . . Considering the quality of its scholarship, its elegant execution, and its important concerns, it can only be wished that [Neighboring Faiths] will gain a wide—and new—readership.”― Historische ZeitschriftProduct detailsPublisher : University of Chicago Press; Reprint edition (July 21, 2016)Language : EnglishPaperback : 347 pagesISBN-10 : 022637985XISBN-13 : 978-0226379852Item Weight : 11.3 ouncesDimensions : 6 x 1.2 x 9 inchesItem Number : 24It has a plastic wrap.
