Reviews

'The much-praised patience of Job surely applies to the contributors to this superb work of erudition edited by two scholars of Christian-Muslim relations at the University of Birmingham, David Thomas and John Chesworth. Their twenty-four scholarly collaborators on several continents have managed to track down nearly every eighteenth-century mention of Christian-Muslim encounters in the Ottoman and Persian empires, South Asia, Southeast Asia, China and Japan, Africa, and the Americas. [...] If all the volumes in this bibliographical history of Christian-Muslim relations are as scholarly as volume 12, no serious university library should neglect buying them. Patrick J. Ryan, S.J., Fordham University, in Journal of Jesuit Studies 6 (2019) 371-373
