| Summary: | Sohail Hashmi has edited a fine collection of essays that attempt to explore the interaction between Christian (mainly) and Jewish just war thinking and Muslim jihad thinking from the rise of Islam in the seventh century to the present day. Each essay aims to help the reader answer two questions. First, what historical evidence exists that Christian, Jewish, and Muslim writers of just, holy, and jihad conflicts respectively knew of each other's tradition of moral and theological reflection on the topics? Second, did they influence one another in any way? After reading all the essays, one comes away with the impression that the answer to the first question is yes, a little, and to the second, no, not much. |
