  • Weaving and Wearing Joseph Tunics in Early Islamic Egypt

    Open AccessKatharina Heyden, David NirenbergARTICLEHistorical Interactions of…2026

    This article explores the phenomenon of »Joseph tunics« - linen and wool garments adorned with scenes from the biblical and Qur'anic story of Joseph, which became popular in Egypt during the first three centuries of Islamic rule. It challenges traditional interpretations that assign these tunics to a single religious community (Coptic Christians) and proposes a framework of »religious co-production.« This framework emphasizes the exchange and mut…

  • Co-produced Religions

    Open AccessKatharina Heyden, David NirenbergARTICLEHarvard Theological Review2025

    The intersections of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are well known, but scholars tend to treat each as largely independent from the others, at least after some initial point of origin. We seek rather to emphasize their ongoing inter-dependence and demonstrate the implications for both historical and theological work. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have continuously formed, re-formed, and transformed themselves by interacting with or thinking …

  • Theodicy and Crisis

    Open AccessKraig Beyerlein, David Nirenberg et al.ARTICLESociology of Religion2021Citada por: 10Referências: 12

    Based on a national survey of U.S. adults conducted six weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, this article investigates how crisis affects religious faith. Almost no Americans reported losing or a weakening of faith in response to the pandemic at this time. By contrast, nearly one-third of believers indicated that the coronavirus outbreak had strengthened their faith. We theoretically develop and empirically test three religious factors—theodicy, pra…

  • Knowledge from Pebbles

    David Nirenberg, Ricardo NirenbergBOOKKNOW: A Journal on the Formation…2018Citada por: 1

    This article explores the historical and philosophical implications of counting and measuring, contrasting the tangible and quantifiable with the intangible and immeasurable. Using the metaphor of pebbles representing countable units, the authors examine how different cultures and systems of thought have approached the problem of representing knowledge and reality. They trace the development of counting systems from ancient civilizations to moder…

  • Communities of Violence

    David NirenbergBOOKCommunities of Violence2015

    In the wake of modern genocide, we tend to think of violence against minorities as a sign of intolerance, or, even worse, a prelude to extermination. Violence in the Middle Ages, however, functioned differently, according to David Nirenberg. In this provocative book, he focuses on specific attacks against minorities in 14th-century France and the Crown of Aragon (Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia). He argues that these attacks - ranging from massac…

  • Anti-Judaismus

    David Nirenberg, Martin RichterBOOKAnti-Judaismus2015

    Anti-Judaismus gilt als eine irrationale Abweichung vom westlichen Denkweg hin zu Freiheit, Toleranz und Fortschritt. David Nirenberg zeigt demgegenüber in seinem aufsehenerregenden Buch anhand zahlreicher - oft erschreckender - Belege von der Antike bis heute, dass die Distanzierung vom Judentum zum Kern des westlichen Denkens und Weltbilds gehört. Die Alten Ägypter verachteten ihre jüdischen Nachbarn als Fremde, die das Land angeblich im Dienst…

  • "Judaism" as Political Concept

    David NirenbergARTICLERepresentations2014Citada por: 1

    This article traces a long history in Christian political thought of linking politics, statecraft, and worldly authority to the broader category of carnal literalism, typed as "Jewish" by the Pauline tradition. This tradition produced a tendency to discuss political error in terms of Judaism, with the difference between mortal and eternal, private and public, tyrant and legitimate monarch, mapped onto the difference between Jew and Christian. As …

  • Badiou's Number

    Ricardo L Nirenberg, David NirenbergARTICLECritical Inquiry2011Citada por: 10Referências: 6

    This essay examines Alain Badiou's use of mathematics, specifically set theory, as the foundation for his ontology. The authors argue that Badiou's reliance on mathematics leads to a flawed understanding of being and restricts the scope of his philosophical project. They contend that Badiou's identification of mathematics with ontology obscures the contingency and multiplicity of being, reducing it to a formal system. Furthermore, they criticize …

  • Islam and the West

    David NirenbergARTICLEJournal of Religion in Europe2008

    This article discusses two prominent and seemingly very different schools of thought about the historical relationship of the West to Islam—the first of which we might call a 'clash of civilizations' and the second an 'alliance'—in order to show the common roots of both in Christian dialectics. As an example of the first school, the article focuses on Pope Benedict XVI's 2006 Regensburg lecture on the European synthesis of 'faith' and 'reason,' w…

    Open AccessDavid NirenbergARTICLEAnnales Histoire Sciences Sociales2007Citada por: 2Referências: 13

    Cet article décrit les façons dont les chrétiens qui vivaient dans la péninsule Ibérique au Moyen Âge définissaient et affirmaient leur identité à l'égard de la communauté juive. Certaines de ces manifestations étaient violentes, certaines déployant même l'idéal d'une société purifiée de tous les juifs. En 1391, cette représentation utopique aboutit à des conversions et des massacres si massifs qu'ils menacèrent d'éliminer toute présence juive en…

  • The Birth of the Pariah

    David NirenbergARTICLESocial research2003Citada por: 6Referências: 11

    WE SHOULD be surprised to discover Jews embraced by the word “pariah.” A term plucked from the caste systems of the Asian subcontinent , its application to a Western and Near Eastern minority might seem to imply that all oppressed are oppressed in the same way. In what sense are the Jews of Christendom like the eponymous low-caste hereditary drumbeaters of southern India? So far as I know, none of the many writers who have called the Jew “pariah”…
