Abstract
Robert Gregg's hefty book utilizes religious and cultural history to describe rivalries between Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the late antique and medieval Mediterranean and Near East.The commentators protected their own stories, filled the gaps in scripture by answering new questions, and revised their meanings to emphasize that God has chosen their religion.Reinterpretation preserved each community's distinctiveness and reaffirmed their religo-cultural identity against any rivals.[...]scriptural retellings were more engagements with one's own community than meeting points with religious others.
