Product Description

▼▲

The first Christians to encounter Muslims were not Latin or Greek, but Syriac speakers in modern-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and eastern Turkey. Here is a record of their vivid impressions, far removed from Western stereotypes that have evolved since 9/11. Invaluable source material that will deepen interfaith understanding. 273 pages, softcover. University of California.
