Muslim-Jewish Encounters

Ronald L. Nettler, Routledge / Taylor & Francis Group, 1998

This book brings together contributions which examine various Islamic and selected Jewish writings of this kind, analyzing their ideas, methods, sources and meanings, relating them to the new historical and political situations, as well as to ancient and medieval writings, for comparative purposes. The texts discussed either elaborate attitudes towards ‘the other’ within the two traditions or address themes that are part of their common heritage.
