| 总结: | The question of Christian-Muslim relations is one of enduring importance in the twenty-first century. While there exists a broad range of helpful overviews on the question, these introductory texts often fail to provide readers with the depth that a thorough treatment of the primary sources and their authors would provide. In this important new project, Charles Tieszen provides a collection of primary theological sources devoted to the formational period of Christian-Muslim relations. It provides brief introductions to authors and their texts along with representative selections in English translation. The collection is arranged according to the key theological themes that emerge as Christians and Muslims encounter one another in this era. The result is a resource that offers students a far better grasp of the texts early Christians and Muslims wrote about each other and a better understanding of the important theological themes that are pertinent to Christian-Muslim dialogue today Introduction: Voices in the history of Christian-Muslim relations -- Between heresy, adaptation, and the end of the world: early Christian responses to the rise of Islam (seventh to eighth centuries) -- Christianity in the language of Islam: developing Christian theology in Islamic contexts (eighth to ninth centuries) -- Refuting Christianity: Muslim assessments of Christian doctrine and practice (ninth to tenth centuries) -- Strengthening defenses, refining attacks: Christian-Muslim theological engagement in the Western Mediterranean (eleventh to twelfth centuries) -- Questions and answers: Christian-Muslim theological exchanges (thirteenth to fourteenth centuries) -- Old strategies for a new era: Muslims and Christians at the dawn of modernity (fifteenth century) -- Conclusion: Mapping some of the literary topoi of Christian-Muslim relations |
