It begins with a survey of the available material, and then focuses on two texts, the 'Disputation against the Arabs by a monk of Bet Hale', and the Syriac Bahira legend. In all of this Sidney Griffith brings his unsurpassed knowledge to bear, and he concludes by suggesting ways in which this literature might provide insights and pointers for modern Christian theological engagement with Islam.
