Forced Conversion in Christianity, Judaism and Islam: Coercion and Faith in Premodern Iberia and Beyond de Mercedes García-Arenal

Forced Conversion in Christianity, Judaism and Islam: Coercion and Faith in Premodern Iberia and Beyond: Numen Book Series, cartea 164

Editat de Mercedes García-Arenal, Yonatan Glazer-Eytan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2019
Focusing on the Iberian Peninsula but examining related European and Mediterranean contexts as well, Forced Conversion in Christianity, Judaism and Islam traces how Christians, Jews, and Muslims grappled with the contradictory phenomenon of faith brought about by constraint and compulsion. Forced conversion brought into sharp relief the tensions among the accepted notion of faith as a voluntary act, the desire to maintain “pure” communities, and the universal truth claims of radical monotheism. Offering a comparative view of an important yet insufficiently studied phenomenon in the history of religions, this collection of essays explores the ways in which religion and violence reshaped these three religions and the ways we understand them today.

Recenzii

"Forced Conversion in Christianity, Judaism and Islam is an immensely rewarding collection of essays, every paper stimulating, well written, and of the highest quality. It provokes the reader to ask further questions connected withthe phenomenon."

- Alastair Hamilton, The Warburg Institute, London, UK, Church History and Religious Culture 100 (2020).

"This collection is a timely and strong addition to a growing field of scholarship on conversion, in which the work of Mercedes García-Arenal is already central. It will be of great use to scholars and students working on themes of religion, violence, and the relationships between people of different faith communities from social, legal, and theological perspectives, as well as on themes of memory (see especially Vidal Doval, Verskin, and Marcocci), childhood (notably Marmursztejn and García-Arenal), identity, belonging and exclusion."

- Stephanie M. Cavanaugh, Exeter College, University of Oxford, UK, Journal of Jesuit Studies, 8 (2021).

"Based on a conference in Madrid 2016, the volume is dedicated to topics and theories in the history of forced conversions in medieval and early modern Iberia. (...) the introduction is a noticeable summary of illuminating thoughts, and a remarkable effort to integrate the different chapters of the volume into one research programme. (...) the impact and importance of forced conversions in medieval Iberia go far beyond the geographical scope and time limit of the actual events and that they need to bother all historians and scholars of religion up to the present day – independently of our respective research foci and interests."

- Sina Rauschenbach, University of Potsdam, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, 72 (2021).

"In sum, this volume is an important contribution not only for the analysis of conversion but for the study of the history of religion and how religious identities are created and shaped."

- Javier Albarrán Iruela, Sehepunkte, Rezensionsjournal für die Geschichtswissenschaften, 21.6 (2021).
