The Meaning of the Concept in This Book
Christianity appears in the book as part of the People of the Book. It also appears as an example of the impact of European transformations and modernity on the religious structure.
Its Place in the Book’s Argument
Christianity is present within the comparisons that the book builds between the monotheistic religions, especially when it discusses fundamentalism, legitimacy, and the persistence of the prophetic model. In this context, it enters as an element that clarifies the relationships between foundational texts and the historical paths of their reception.
How It Works Within the Atlas
Christianity here functions as an element linking the People of the Book to the major questions in reading the Qur’an and religious history. Through it, the page connects to issues such as European transformations, popular and historical interpretation, and the formation of monotheistic communities within the framework of a single book, as well as criticism of inherited exegeses and criticism of fundamentalist supremacy.
