Marc David Baer Livres
Les recherches du professeur Baer explorent les histoires interconnectées de chrétiens, de juifs et de musulmans dans les contextes européens et du Moyen-Orient, s'étendant de l'époque moderne à la période contemporaine. Son travail examine de manière critique les dynamiques complexes de conversion et de coexistence entre ces diverses communautés religieuses. Il analyse méticuleusement comment ces groupes se sont mutuellement influencés et comment leurs croyances et leurs pratiques ont évolué historiquement. Sa recherche offre des aperçus profonds sur les paysages changeants de l'identité religieuse et de la transformation au fil des siècles.
