Where it came from
Published by Cambridge University Press in 2003, this scholarly work was written by Yohanan Friedmann, a professor emeritus of Islamic studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The text was developed to address the complex historical discourse surrounding religious tolerance within classical Islamic legal and theological traditions. Friedmann aimed to move beyond polemical interpretations by conducting a rigorous philological and historical examination of how Muslim jurists and scholars navigated the status of non-Muslim communities, or dhimmis, under Islamic rule.
The book is widely recognized for its balanced methodology, providing a detailed analysis of primary sources to illustrate how principles of coercion and tolerance were applied in practice. Upon its release, it became a seminal reference for academics and students of Middle Eastern history. It is frequently cited for its nuanced investigation into the divergence between normative theory and historical reality in medieval and early modern interfaith relations.
