Reviews

'[...] as a product of two eminent theologists who display a thorough mastery of their subject, the book reflects the painstaking efforts of a host of writers who piece together the history of Christian-Muslim relations in the hopes, not only of assisting in a commendable project but in providing those works with well-deserved recognition. Written in a fluid English that maintains the simplicity of the language, the book can be enjoyed for more than just academic research. While someone with advanced academic accolades in world history or political science may find the book an extremely useful resource and wish to debate its contents, the book also generates lasting interest and curiosity for readers who are outside the discipline but seek knowledge about human history, culture, and religion'.
