DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on a virtually unstudied topic: how did 
 Muslim thinkers perceive and imagine Jewish-Christian interaction? Whereas
  studies on Muslim views of Christianity and Muslim views on Judaism aboun
 d\, there are no studies dealing with the questions of whether and how Mus
 lims authors (historians\, exegetes\, legal scholars\, littérateurs etc) 
 reflected on the historical and imagined relations between Jews and Christ
 ians.\n\nRecent research suggests that the Qur’an alludes to and critici
 zes Jewish-Christian polemical exchanges\, which would not be surprising c
 onsidering the vehemence of Jewish-Christian confrontation in the 6th-7th 
 century Near East. In later centuries the relation between Judaism and Chr
 istianity was discussed by Muslims in the context of discussions about the
  corruption of scripture\, the Qur’an’s denial of Christ’s crucifixi
 on and the possibility of naskh\, abrogation of religious laws\, while in 
 modern times Muslim thinkers have explored links between Western Christian
 s and Zionism.\n\nThe workshop will bring together scholars of different a
 reas within Islamic and Arabic studies\, who will discuss relevant writing
 s\, in the hope of furthering our understanding of interreligious interact
 ion in the Islamic world and of the development of Islam’s self-image in
  relation to competing religious communities.\n\nWorkshop program
