NEIGHBORING FAITHS: CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM, AND JUDAISM IN THE MIDDLE AGES AND TODAY
Book ID/图书代码： 13560015B80820
English Summary/英文概要： Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are usually treated as autonomous religions, but in fact across the long course of their histories the three religions have developed in interaction with one another. In Neighboring Faiths, David Nirenberg examines how Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived with and thought about each other during the Middle Ages and what the medieval past can tell us about how they do so today.
There have been countless scripture-based studies of the three “religions of the book,” but Nirenberg goes beyond those to pay close attention to how the three religious neighbors loved, tolerated, massacred, and expelled each other—all in the name of God—in periods and places both long ago and far away. Nirenberg argues that the three religions need to be studied in terms of how each affected the development of the others over time, their proximity of religious and philosophical thought as well as their overlapping geographies, and how the three “neighbors” define—and continue to define—themselves and their place in terms of one another. From dangerous attractions leading to interfaith marriage; to interreligious conflicts leading to segregation, violence, and sometimes extermination; to strategies for bridging the interfaith gap through language, vocabulary, and poetry, Nirenberg aims to understand the intertwined past of the three faiths as a way for their heirs to produce the future—together.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 天主教、犹太教、伊斯兰教通常被认为是自治的宗教，但事实上，在其漫长的发展历史上，这三种宗教相互交织。《邻近的信仰》一书中，作者David Nirenberg审视了穆斯林信徒、基督徒和犹太教信徒在中世纪是如何相互共存，又是如何看待对方的，同时探讨了过去的中世纪历史能为今天的现状带来什么启示。
关于这三种宗教的书籍数不胜数，但Nirenberg的作品与那些书籍不同，书中特别关注了这三种宗教信徒是如何相互热爱、容忍、屠杀和驱逐对方的，一切都是以上帝的名义，无论是在遥远的过去，还是遥远的地方。作者认为，有必要从以下角度来研究这三种宗教：其中一种是如何影响另外两种宗教的发展的，它们在宗教和哲学思想上的接近程度，以及它们相互重叠的地域和它们各自是如何定义自身的。从跨信仰婚姻，到导致种族隔离、暴力和消灭的宗教冲突，再到通过语言、词汇、诗歌等手段搭建跨信仰桥梁，作者试图通过理解这三种信仰过去的纠葛为他们的子孙共建未来铺下道路。(LYR)
