{"product_id":"nicholas-of-cusa-and-islam-ian-christopher-levy-9789004274754","title":"Nicholas of Cusa and Islam: Polemic and Dialogue in the Late Middle Ages","description":"This collection of essays explores the complex relations between Christians and Muslims at the dawn of the modern age. It begins by examining two seminal works by Nicholas of Cusa: \u003ci\u003eDe pace fidei\u003c\/i\u003e, a dialogue seeking peace among world religions written after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, and \u003ci\u003eCribratio Alkorani\u003c\/i\u003e (1460-61), an attempt to confirm Gospel truths through a critical reading of the Qur'an. After considering Nicholas, his sources, and his context, the book explores a wider range of late medieval texts on Christian-Muslim relations--not only Christian writings about Islam but also Muslim responses to Christianity. The book's focus is historical, but it can also contribute to efforts at increasing Muslim-Christian understanding today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Christopher Levy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004274758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004274754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Ian Christopher Levy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136993538303,"sku":"9789004274754","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd86fe3d-0230-45ea-9542-352cd00dc8d2.jpg?v=1770165830","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nicholas-of-cusa-and-islam-ian-christopher-levy-9789004274754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
