ANA ECHEVARRIA ARSUAGA: THE FORTRESS OF THE FAITH(Brill, 1999. ISBN: 90 04 11232 4 ) The first chapter examine the historical background, the autohors´ biographies and the styles they chose to approach different audiences. As for the contents of the treatises, subjects included are Islamic doctrine as known by Christian theologians; controversy as a way to achieve peaceful conversion and social habits leading to the acculturation of Islamic communities. The interpretation of the sources shows a new view of the interaction between Islam and Christianity, which favoured the conquest of Granada -the last piece of land under Muslim power in the Peninsula- and the obstruction of Turkish advance in Europe.
