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 aspectsChristianityanimal slaughter.bible and food.biblical dietary laws.christian history.christianity.christians and food.dietary laws.history of islam.history of judaism.history of religion.islam.judaism and food.judaism.kosher foods.lent and fasting.muslim history.muslims and food.ramadan.religion and fasting.religion and food.religion comparative study.religions and eating.religious fasting.religious food preparation.religious food restrictions.religious history.religious studies.FoodReligious aspectsIdentification (Religion)ReligionsRelations.JewsDietary laws.MuslimsDietary laws.FoodReligious aspectsChristianity.201/.5Freidenreich David M.1977-1598219MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815403303321Foreigners and their food3920310UNINA
