Children of Abraham: The Story of Jewish-Muslim Relations
Speaker
Chair
Join us for the book launch of Professor Marc Baer's new book Children of Abraham: The Story of Jewish-Muslim Relations.
Muslims and Jews have lived together for more than 1,400 years, in relationships shaped by cooperation and conflict. Yet contemporary debate often reduces this complex history to antagonism alone.
Professor Marc David Baer discusses his latest book, Children of Abraham: The Story of Jewish-Muslim Relations, his timely new account of two groups whose intertwined histories continue to shape our world.
From seventh-century Arabia to medieval Spain to the Modern Middle East, Baer challenges myths and counter-myths, offering a vital conversation about history, memory and understanding.
