Encountering the "other" -- pt. 2. Jews and Christians. 330 $aIn Jews, Christians, and the Abode of Islam, Jacob Lassner examines the triangular relationship that during the Middle Ages defined-and continues to define today-the political and cultural interaction among the three Abrahamic faiths. Lassner looks closely at the debates occasioned by modern Western scholarship on Islam to throw new light on the social and political status of medieval Jews and Christians in various Islamic lands from the seventh to the thirteenth century. Utilizing a vast array of primary sources, Lassner balances the rhetoric of literary and legal texts from the Middle Ages with other, newly discovered medieval sources that describe life as it was actually lived among the three faith communities. Lassner shows just what medieval Muslims meant when they spoke of tolerance, and how that abstract concept played out at different times and places in the real world of Christian and Jewish communities under Islamic rule. Finally, he considers what a more informed picture of the relationship among the Abrahamic faiths in the medieval Islamic world might mean for modern scholarship on medieval Islamic civilization and, not the least, for the highly contentious global environment of today. 606 $aJews$zIslamic Empire$xHistory 606 $aIslam$xRelations$xJudaism 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xIslam 606 $aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xIslam 606 $aCivilization, Medieval$xReligious aspects 606 $aOrientalism$xHistory 606 $aIslamic learning and scholarship$xHistory 606 $aEast and West 607 $aIslamic Empire$xEthnic relations$xReligious aspects 610 $areligious studies, religion, faith, belief, scholarly, academic, research, medieval, middle ages, judaism, christianity, muslim, islam, christian, jewish, relationship, culture, cultural, political, politics, abrahamic, holy books, land, 13th century, primary source, rhetoric, literary, legal, laws, communities, tolerance, civilization, globalization, history, historical, muhammed, philosophy, polemics. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam$xRelations$xJudaism. 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xIslam. 615 0$aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xIslam. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aOrientalism$xHistory. 615 0$aIslamic learning and scholarship$xHistory. 615 0$aEast and West. 676 $a297.2/820902 700 $aLassner$b Jacob$0642050 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790006503321 996 $aJews, Christians, and the abode of Islam$93850930 997 $aUNINA
