Defending Christian Faith: The Fifth Part of the Christian Apology of Gerasimus

by Abjar Bahkou

Overview

The book presents Medieval Christian writer Gerasimus who in a debate with Islam presents reasoned proofs that refute charges of deception and duplicity made against Christians by means of logically constructed arguments about the being of God and His relationship to creation. He sets out the basic points of controversy and outlines a response in a form that would make an excellent introduction to Christian theology for the Muslim environment.

Editorial Reviews

"The major achievement of the volume is the edition of the Arabic text (67—102) and its English translation (103—140). B[ahkou] organizes and systematically numbers the entire text, thus providing a sound basis for future research, including an Arabic »Index of the Most Important Words in Arabic» (148—160). Through his laudable efforts, B. has made this witness of Christian-Muslim relation accessible to a broader range of readers. [...] his book represents a welcome contribution to the facilitation of our knowledge of the textual sources, that will futher aid in our understanding of the historical roots behind the ongoing interreligious dialogue between Muslims and Christians."
