摘要：This book, coordinated by Mercedes García-Arenal and Yonatan Glazer-Eytan, examines forced conversion in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, particularly but not exclusively on the Iberian Peninsula, a laboratory for interreligious dialogue. In this sense, some of the issues deeply addressed in this volume are the mechanisms of accommodation and new articulation of faith developed by the different religious traditions to deal with the realities of forced conversion; the new affirmation of foundational categories of religious identity; the role played by intention and compulsion; the production of legal and theological rationalizations to justify the use of coercion in conversion, or the appearance of tensions between external practice and inner beliefs. Moreover, this volume, through its different essays, demonstrate that these phenomena are attested in various religious traditions at different times and places.
