Description

This collection of articles examines how Christians living in the early Islamic world developed theological responses to Islam through Arabic-language discourse. Professor Griffith traces the evolution of Christian apologists who adopted kalam, the rhetorical modes used by Muslim controversialists, to defend Christian doctrine within Islamic societies. The volume complements earlier work on 9th-century Palestinian monasteries, revealing how Christian scholars engaged with Islamic intellectual traditions and created a distinctly Christian ilm al-kalam. These studies illuminate the intellectual and religious encounters between Christian and Muslim thinkers during the formative centuries following Islam's emergence, demonstrating how Christian theology evolved when Christians became minorities in predominantly Islamic regions. The collection offers essential insight into how religious communities adapted their theological frameworks and arguments when confronted with new intellectual and social challenges.
