Description
Early Quakers and Islam Slavery, Apocalyptic and Christian-Muslim Encounters in the Seventeenth Century by Justin J. Meggitt explores how a group of Christians responded to their experiences with Muslims in North Africa during the 17th century. The author examines the impact of these encounters on the development of unique interpretations of Islam among Quakers. The study focuses on the experiences of enslaved Quakers who were given religious freedom in North Africa, but faced persecution at home. By analyzing this group's culture and interactions with Muslims, Meggitt sheds light on how apocalypticism and sectarianism influenced Christian responses to Islam during this period. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between Christians and Muslims in early modern Europe, challenging prevailing assumptions about the nature of Islamic representation during this time.
