Muslim Understanding Of Other Religions

This book brings to light a great deal regarding the Muslim attitude(s) towards other religions. It also brings into sharp relief the serious and painstaking efforts of Muslim scholars to systematically study the religious traditions of others, the significance of Ibn Hazm as a pioneering figure in Comparative Religion, and his lasting impact on the development of that discipline. One of the major contributions of Ibn Hazm was that he developed canons for a proper and critical study of religions. He not only spelled out these canons of criticism but also extensively used them in his study of other religions. What could be a better tribute to the greatness of Ibn Hazm as a Comparative Religionist than the fact that the critique of Christianity up until some seven centuries after him virtually remained confined to the points which he had raised.
