Jewish-Muslim Relations in Past and Present
A Kaleidoscopic View
Series: - Studies on the Children of Abraham, Volume: 5
Editor:
This volume assembles multidisciplinary research on the Judaeo-Islamic tradition in medieval and modern contexts. The introduction discusses the nature of this tradition and proposes the more fluid and inclusive designation of âJewish-Muslim Relations.â Contributions highlight diverse aspects of Jewish-Muslim relations in medieval and modern contexts, including the academic study of Jewish history, the Qurâanic notion of the âupright communityâ referring to the âPeople of the Book,â Jews in medieval fatwas, use of Arabic and Hebrew script, Jewish prayer in Christian Europe and the Islamic world, the permissibility of Arabic music in modern Jewish thought, Jewish and Muslim feminist exegesis, modern Sephardic and Morisco identity, popular Tunisian song, Jewish-Muslim relations in cinema and A.S. Yehudaâs study of an 11th-century Jewish mystic.
Josef Meri, D.Phil. (1999), Oxford University, is Faculty Associate at the Center for the Study of Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations, Merrimack College, U.S.A. He has published extensively on the history of Muslim-non-Muslim relations in the Middle East in past and present. He recently published (ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Muslim-Jewish Relations (2016) and a historical introduction to Pilgrims and Pilgrimage in Islam is forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press.
