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. 606 $aFood$xReligious aspects$vComparative studies 606 $aIdentification (Religion)$vComparative studies 606 $aReligions$xRelations 606 $aJews$xDietary laws 606 $aMuslims$xDietary laws 606 $aFood$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFood$xReligious aspects 615 0$aIdentification (Religion) 615 0$aReligions$xRelations. 615 0$aJews$xDietary laws. 615 0$aMuslims$xDietary laws. 615 0$aFood$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a201/.5 700 $aFreidenreich$b David M.$f1977-$01032371 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456982503321 996 $aForeigners and their food$92478181 997 $aUNINA
