Description
Medieval Heresies: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam explores how three major monotheistic religions - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - defined heresy and orthodoxy in the medieval world. From the late fourth century to the early sixteenth century, this comparative survey examines the complex relationships between these faiths and their responses to religious dissent.
Spanning England to Persia, Medieval Heresies delves into the history of heresy, error, and religious correction, persuasion, or punishment among Latin Christians, Greek Christians, Jews, and Muslims. This nuanced narrative sheds light on how these three great monotheistic religions interrelated in defining orthodoxy.
With a lively narrative that spans centuries, Medieval Heresies offers an unprecedented history of heresy and its responses throughout the medieval world, revealing the intricate web of beliefs and practices that shaped the faiths of this period.
