The Cross and the Crescent: The Dramatic Story of the Earliest Encounters Between Christians and Muslims - Softcover
Book 28 of 52: Allen Lane History
Synopsis
A short, brilliant account of the relations between Islam and Christianity from Muhammad to the Reformation. Fletcher argues that though there were trading and cultural interactions between Islam and Christianity during the period when Arabs controlled most of the Mediterranean world, neither side was remotely interested in the religion of the other. "Christian and Moslem lived side by side in a state of mutual religious aversion. Given these circumstances, if religious passions were to be stirred up, confrontation would probably be violent." He shows how religious misunderstanding and antagonism between "the peoples of the book" has been present since their earliest encounters.

Condition: Very Good. : Este libro ofrece un relato conciso y brillante de las relaciones entre el Islam y el cristianismo desde Mahoma hasta la Reforma. Fletcher argumenta que, aunque hubo interacciones comerciales y culturales entre ambas religiones durante el período en que los árabes controlaron la mayor parte del mundo mediterráneo, ninguna de las partes estaba remotamente interesada en la religión de la otra.
