A heresia no Medievo Mediterrânico: conexões entre o Cristianismo, o Judaísmo e o Islamismo

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This article aims to analyze heresy as a byproduct of the relationships between the three main monotheistic religions that coexisted in the medieval period and the Mediterranean environment, especially from the seventh century, which are the Judaism and Islam. Thus, it aims to establish an introduction about the theme according to the connections that are presented by the most current historiography, especially from the perspective of the author Christine Caldwell Ames, whose recent work "Medieval Heresies: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam" brings us a panorama that clarifies specific questions about common and divergent points of Christian, Jewish and Islamic orthodoxies, especially when studying the issue of heresy and heretic, However, the question he poses would be whether it would be possible to transpose the concept of heresy to the main monotheistic religions?

Keywords: Heresy. Mediterranean. Christianity. Judaism. Islam.
