Here, the late antique and medieval Near East is viewed as a world of stories shared by Christians and Muslims. Public storytelling was a key feature for these late antique Christian and early Islamic communities, where stories of saints were used to interpret the past, comment on the present, and envision the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Reyhan Durmaz uses these stories to demonstrate and analyse the mutually constitutive relationship between these two religions in the Middle Ages. With an in-depth study of storytelling in Late Antiquity and the mechanisms of hagiographic transmission between Christianity and Islam in the Middle Ages, Durmaz develops a nuanced understanding of saints’ stories as a tool for building identity, memory, and authority across confessional boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471623766252,"sku":"9780520386464","price":180.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520386464-stories-between-christianity-and-islam.jpg?v=1775248229"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/reyhan-durmaz.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
