| Resumo: | "Norman Daniel's critically acclaimed Islam and the West is a deft and comprehensive study of the formation and development of Western attitudes about Islam from medieval times to the present. Drawing upon a lifelong study of the subject, and thoroughly revised and updated before his death, Daniel examines the religious and political considerations behind Western views of Islam, exploring such issues as the life of Muhammad, Islam's stance towards violence and morality, and the authenticity of the Qur'an. A true modern classic, this is the definitive history of Christian-Muslim interaction."--BOOK JACKET |
