Routledge Handbook of Muslim-Jewish Relations

<p><em>The Routledge Handbook of Muslim-Jewish Relations</em> invites readers to deepen their understanding of the historical social cultural and political themes that impact modern-day perceptions of interfaith dialogue. The volume is designed to illuminate positive encounters between Muslims and Jews as well as points of conflict within a historical framework. Among other goals the volume seeks to correct common misperceptions about the history of Muslim-Jewish relations by complicating familiar political narratives to include dynamics such as the cross-influence of literary and intellectual traditions. Reflecting unique and original collaborations between internationally-renowned contributors the book is intended to spark further collaborative and constructive conversation and scholarship in the academy and beyond.</p>
