Neighboring Faiths: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in the Middle Ages and Today

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam usually are treated as autonomous religions, but actually developed in interaction with one another during their long histories. The book argues that these religions need to be studied in terms of how each affected the development of the others, attempting to understand their intertwined past as a way for their heirs to produce the future together. Nirenberg is a professor of history at the University of Chicago.
