It is frequently assumed that the modern era is the most multicultural inhistory. Arguing that this conception is widely mistaken, this innovative collection of essays presents the Medieval and Early Modern Mediterranean as a culturalmelting pot characterized by hybridity, diversity, and cultural dynamism.Distinctive both in scope and approach, A Faithful Sea explores a widearray of Mediterranean religious traditions and identities, highlighting thecross-fertilization of people and society within the region. Withcontributions from leading specialists in history, religion, and cultural studies,readers from all backgrounds will find the concept of "Mediterraneity"both insightful and highly relevant amid a perceived gulf betweencontemporary Islam and Christianity.
