Biography
David Thomas is Professor of Christianity and Islam at the University of Birmingham, UK. He specialises in Islamic thought and Christian–Muslim relations. He is director of Christian–Muslim Relations, a Bibliographical History, a project that traces the history of engagements between followers of the faiths as reflected in their writings.
'David Thomas has augmented his already outstanding list of publications devoted to the study of interreligious relations with a new volume, the Routledge Handbook on Christian-Muslim Relations. Having worked for years to lead Brill’s multi-volume project Christian-Muslim Relations: A Bibliographical History, Thomas has a privileged sense of the top scholars in different subfields and he marshals an impressive roster of them for this handbook.'
