The Catecismo of Martín Pérez de Ayala

World Religions

“The history of Spanish Catholic-Muslim relations is often seen characterized as either military confrontation or the Convivencia. Lincoln Loo—in a lucid and accessible work—demonstrates that attitudes and relations were far more complex than often imagined. Another option was present—peaceful apologetics. Loo has engaged in extensive, good quality research on what might otherwise to modern Westerners be an obscure subject and demonstrates that ordinary mission and catechizing were also features of interreligious encounter.”
