Recenzii

An invaluable collection of texts that Christians and Muslims have written about each other, and each other's faith, over the centuries, in a wide variety of languages and in all continents. Theologians, legal authorities, historians, poets, travellers, traders, missionaries and political leaders are all represented . An indispensable resource for understanding the relationship between the world's two largest religious communities.
These three volumes are a very welcome addition to the growing literature and scholarly interest in Christian-Muslim studies. The period spanning the years 600 to 1914 and the various geographical areas covered, make this a comprehensive collection of sources and a valuable source of learning for the beginner and the established scholar.
These volumes contain translations of original texts that show the diversity of perspectives that Muslims and Christians have had - and perhaps still have - of each other during a period of fourteen centuries. These texts provide indispensable background materials to the student and the teacher, but are also a fascinating read for anyone interested in Muslim-Christian relations through the centuries.
