Nicholas of Cusa and Muhammad A Critical Revisit

"Nathan Ron sets the record straight about Nicholas of Cusa as so-called pioneer of 'inter-religious dialogue' based on a close reading of the irenic
Peace of Faith
and the polemical
Scrutiny of the Koran
, together with his role in mounting a crusade for Pope Pius II."
—Gerald Christianson, Professor Emeritus of Church History, United Lutheran Seminary, Gettysburg; Past President, American Cusanus Society

"Nicholas of Cusa often is presented as a champion of interreligious dialogue. This book rightly brings to the fore Cusanus' often harsh polemic against Islam and his role in Pius II's crusade against the Turks."
—Thomas Izbicki, Humanities librarian emeritus, Rutgers University
