Description

Explore the pivotal shift in Christian literature when 8th-century Palestinian monks began composing theology and saints' lives in Arabic, establishing an ambitious programme to translate the Bible and Christian texts from Greek and Syriac into the language of the Qur'an. This volume examines how Islamic theological developments prompted Christian scholars to produce apologetic works, fundamentally transforming the landscape of Christian intellectual life within the Islamic caliphate. Routledge's collected studies present detailed analysis of the monasteries that became centres of translation and original composition, revealing how Arabic-speaking Christian communities preserved and adapted their faith during a transformative historical period. The work addresses the linguistic and theological dimensions of this cultural shift, showing how Christian thinkers engaged with Islamic thought through written discourse.
