Comparative Case Studies: Engaging Otherness -- Notes -- Works Cited -- Index of Sources -- General IndexForeigners and Their Food explores how Jews, Christians, and Muslims conceptualize "us" and "them" through rules about the preparation of food by adherents of other religions and the act of eating with such outsiders. David M. Freidenreich analyzes the significance of food to religious formation, elucidating the ways ancient and medieval scholars use food restrictions to think about the "other." Freidenreich illuminates the subtly different ways Jews, Christians, and Muslims perceive themselves, and he demonstrates how these distinctive self-conceptions shape ideas about religious foreigners and communal boundaries. This work, the first to analyze change over time across the legal literatures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, makes pathbreaking contributions to the history of interreligious intolerance and to the comparative study of religion.FoodReligious aspectsComparative studiesIdentification (Religion)Comparative studiesReligionsRelationsJewsDietary lawsMuslimsDietary lawsFoodReligious aspectsChristianityElectronic books.FoodReligious aspectsIdentification (Religion)ReligionsRelations.JewsDietary laws.MuslimsDietary laws.FoodReligious aspectsChristianity.201/.5Freidenreich David M.1977-1032371MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456982503321Foreigners and their food2478181UNINA
