Theodore Abu Qurrah (Library of the Christian East)

"Theodore Abu Qurrah (d. ca. 820 CE) was the Chalcedonian bishop of Haran and one of the first Arab Christian theologians. In numerous Arabic and Greek works, Abu Qurrah defended his faith from the challenges of Islam and the opponents of Chalcedon, and in so doing re-articulated traditional Christian teaching using the language and concepts of Muslim theologians. His writings provide an important witness to Christian thought in the early Islamic world." "This volume offers for the first time an English translation of nearly the complete corpus of Theodore Abu Qurrah's works, with extensive notes on the Arabic and Greek texts." - BOOK JACKET.
