Christian doctrines in Islamic theology
By the tenth century, Islamic scholars were making use of Christian doctrines as examples of misguided thinking that showed the correctness of Islam. This volume explores key writings in this tradition, including those of al-Nashi' al-Akbar, al-Maturidi, al-Baqillani and 'Abd al-Jabbar.

Christian Doctrines in Islamic Theology

المواجهة بين المسيحية الشرقية والإسلام المبكر
يسلط كتاب (المواجهة بين المسيحية الشرقية والإسلام المبكر) الضوء على بعض النصوص والمخطوطات التي تم استعراضها للمرة الأولى بمحاولة لإعادة بناء المفاهيم التاريخية التقليدية والكشف عن معطيات تاريخية جديدة تعنى بالقرن السابع، قرن ظهور الإسلام المدعو عصر الظلام في التاريخ البيزنطي. ما يبرهن على مستوى التعقيد والتداخل الذي اتسمت فيه العلاقات بين بيزنطة والإسلام وتعود أهمية العمل على الدقة العلمية في تغطية الأحداث والسجالات اللاهوتية التي واكبتها من جهة ومناقشته المصادر التي اعتمد عليها المؤرخون من جهة أخرى. الكتاب هو عمل بحثي لمجموعة من الباحثين في التاريخ البيزنطي الذين يتناولون بعض أهم تفاصيل مدة تاريخية تعد من أدق الحقب وأكثرها توترا بين الإسلام والإمبراطورية البيزنطية وتكمن أهمية العمل في دراسة كريستولوجيا القرآن الكريم، إضافة إلى كيفية تشكل صورة الآخر، المسلم والمسيحي والتي غالبا ما تحكمت فيها أنماط التصورات الدينية وإسقاطاتها في ديانتين جمعهما الجوار الجغرافي وفرقهما الاختلاف العقائدي. يستعرض الكتاب مجموعة من النصوص المهمة لاحتوائها على السجالات والرسائل المسيحية الموجهة ضد الإسلام على أثر الفتح العربي، كما يوضح أهمية وتأثير الصراع اللاهوتي المسيحي-مسيحي في انتشار الإسلام ويبرز المناقشات العقائدية الأولى التي تواجه بها الإسلام والمسيحية حول الصلب والقيامة، حيث اتخذت المناظرات اللاهوتية سمة الجدل الدفاعي، اعتمادا على حجج تستمد قوتها من امتلاك المساجلين المسيحيين لشروط القياس المنطقي والاستدلالات الفلسفية، الأمر الذي اكتسبوه سابقا من خلال مواجهة الدين اليهودي. تنوع الحجج والباحثين في هذا العمل هو ما يجعله مرجعا بحثيا غني، حيث يخوض بعدد من النواحي الهامة الكفيلة بتغيير المفاهيم السائدة عن تلك الحقبة التاريخية الغامضة من العصور الوسطى ويفك وثاق معطيات نوعية من الأحداث التاريخية، ما يجعله إضافة ثرية للمكتبة العربية المتعطشة لهذا النوع من البحوث.

The character of Christian-Muslim encounter : essays in honour of David Thomas
This book is a Festschrift in honour of David Thomas (Professor of Christianity and Islam, and Nadir Dinshaw Professor of Inter Religious Relations, at the University of Birmingham, UK). The Editors have put together a collection of over 30 contributions from colleagues of Professor Thomas that commences with a biographical sketch and representative tribute provided by a former doctoral student, and comprises a series of wide-ranging academic papers arranged to broadly reflect three dimensions of David Thomas's academic and professional work - studies in and of Islam; Christian-Muslim relations; the Church and interreligious engagement. These are set in the context of a focused theme - the character of Christian-Muslim encounters - and cast within a broad chronological framework.

Muslim-Christian polemic during the Crusades : the letter from the people of Cyprus and Ibn Abī Ṭālib al-Dimashqī's response
\"This volume comprises an edition and English translation of the response in Arabic made by the fourteenth century scholar Ibn Abi Talib al-Dimashqi to a letter sent to him by anonymous Christians from Cyprus. The Christian letter was also sent to al-Dimashqi's contemporary Ibn Taymiyya, and this response is thus a parallel to Ibn Taymiyya's al-Jawab al-sahih.\" \"In their letter the Christians subtly suggest that the Qur'an supports Christian doctrines. Al-Dimashqi replies with a comprehensive series of elaborate and wide-ranging arguments that incorporate not only themes familiar from earlier polemical works but also his own original points. His response is thus an important source of information about the development of Muslim interfaith attitudes, and a significant example of polemic in the later medieval period. The edition presents the two parts of this correspondence in parallel Arabic and English versions, together with an extensive introduction, textual notes and commentary.\"--Jacket.
