Sinopsis

This book is a study of the contribution of IsaacáBarrow (1630-1677), Master of Trinity College (Cambridge), to Western perceptions of Islam in the 17th century. In particular, it provides a translation and study of BarrowâÇÖs Latin essay on Islam (written in Constantinople), a Sermon on Islam and several other works that set out an embryonic theory of religion. Arguably, BarrowâÇÖs writing on Islam is the first by a mainstream English scholar to moveáaway from total hostility toward an empathetic approach that contemplated the possibility ofásalvation for Muslims. His work contributes to contemporary dilemmas and challenges on the nature of religion.
