This volume brings together Spanish and German scholars specialised in the field of
religious interaction. Most medieval societies ruled by Muslims and Christians were
religiously plural not by choice and ideal but by nature. Religious affiliation and
identity had to be repeatedly negotiated, defined, and chosen. The impact of legitimated
religious violence towards subordinate religions or of religious wars underlies the
more peaceful periods. Semi-permeable borders between the religions favoured inter-religious
exchanges, while at the same time the efforts to impose segregation and discrimination
aimed to restrict contact and influence. Agency by members of the subordinate religions
was administratively and economically welcome and religiously and socially inevitable.
The authors address topics such as the different strategies for power, order, exchange
and identity chosen to organise religious plurality in medieval societies. Rights
and regulations by both dominant and subordinate religions for demarcation, and in
the opposite direction, pragmatism and forum shopping, were important strategies.
A comparative approach stemming from the controversy on the concept of convivencia
or coexistence in and beyond the Iberian Peninsula, as a possible model of inter-religious
cohabitation, is combined with the inspiring results on religious plurality unearthed
by intense research on mixed societies in the Mediterranean, Byzantium, the Crusading
States and Central Asia. New theoretical and empirical models and concepts are proposed
for comparative work in this research field
