| Summary: | This book explores the history of Muslim-Christian theological exchanges in Iran during the 17th and early 18th centuries. Focused on the work of the renegade missionary 'Ali Quli Jadid al-Islam (d. 1734), it contributes to ongoing debates on the nature of confessionalism, interreligious encounters, and cultural translation in early modern Muslim empires. By disentangling the connections between polemics and other forms of Islamic learning and by emphasizing the Shi'i character of the case in question, this study accounts for the dynamism of polemics as an ever-evolving genre capable to adapt to different historical contexts |

[...] Revisions from the dissertation phase into the book version were undertaken during my postdoctoral contract at the Philipps-University of Marburg, where I worked for the 'Dynamics of Transmission' project, funded jointly by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Association Nationale de la Recherche. [...] Throughout the period of revisions, I benefitted from feedback from different sources."
