History of Christian-Muslim Relations, A

---

Outline: The relationship between the Christian and Muslim worlds has been a long and tortuous one. Over the course of centuries, the balance of power has swung in pendulum fashion - at times the initiative seems to have lain with the Muslim community, with the Christian world simply being compelled to react to developments outside itself; at other times Muslims have found themselves having to respond to Christian challenges. Today Christians and Muslims comprise the world's two largest religious communities. Although they can coexist fairly peacefully, at times they continue to engage in violent confrontation. This book investigates the history of the relationships between Christians and Muslims over the centuries, from their initial encounters in the medieval period, when Muslims were dominant, to the modern period when the balance of power seems to have been reversed. This much-needed overview of the Christian-Muslim encounter emphasizes the context of perceptions and attitudes and provides a depth of historical insight to the complexities of current interactions on different continents.
