Since the early centuries of Islam, the Qur'an's deep imprint on Arabophone Christians has been evident, not only in their evocation of qur'anic language, but also in their creative employment of the text in constructing their own orthodox Christian Arabic theology. This article inves...

520 |a Since the early centuries of Islam, the Qur'an's deep imprint on Arabophone Christians has been evident, not only in their evocation of qur'anic language, but also in their creative employment of the text in constructing their own orthodox Christian Arabic theology. This article investigates the presentation of the Trinity as ‘God, his Word, and his Spirit' in Christian Arabic theological tracts in the early centuries of Islam. It argues that Q 4.171 played a foundational role in constructing a distinct Christian Arabic Trinitarian theology and that Arabophone Christian writers discerned in it the nucleus of what could be developed as an orthodox Trinitarian theology. It traces the development of the Christian Arabic Trinitarian formulation in four works by Arabophone authors: John Damascene's On Heresies 100; On the Triune Nature of God; the interreligious disputation in the court of the ʿAbbāsid Caliph al-Maʾmūn attributed to the theologian Theodore Abū Qurra; and the apologetic letter by ʿAbd al-Masīḥ al-Kindī. This article also makes observations on the implications of the Christian Arabic theological project for interreligious encounter in the early Islamic centuries.
