{"product_id":"9789004120556","title":"Syrian Christians under Islam, the First Thousand Years","description":"This volume contains papers from the Third Woodbrooke-Mingana Symposium on Arab Christianity and Islam (September 1998) on the theme of \"Arab Christianity in Bilâd al-Shâm (Greater Syria) in the pre-Ottoman Period\". It presents aspects of Syrian Christian life and thought during the first millennium of Islamic rule.Among the eight contributing scholars are Sidney Griffith on ninth-century Christological controversies, Samir K. Samir on the Prophet Muhammed seen through Arab Christian eyes, Lawrence Conrad on the physician Ibn Butlân, and Lucy-Anne Hunt on Muslim influence on Christian book illustrations. There is also a foreword by the Syrian Orthodox Archbishop of Aleppo.The picture that emerges is of community life developing in its own way and finding a distinctive character, as Christians responded to the social and intellectual influences of Islam.","brand":"David Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47512505155902,"sku":"9789004120556","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9789004120556.jpg?v=1707781103","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9789004120556","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
