The Treatises of 'Abd al-Jabbār are well-known in this respect. This study deals with an interesting letter written by the convert al-Hassan b. Ayyūb with the intention to convince his brother that the Islam is a better alternative. In doing so, he deals with texts of the Bible, especially of the Gospels. One of these texts is John 8:56-59.
