| Résumé: | Sometime in the late 1260s, an unknown Dominican Cantor in the Crusader city of Antioch wrote a letter to Thomas Aquinas, presenting him with a number of Islamic challenges to the Christian faith. This letter inspired Thomas to write De rationibus fidei (On the Reasons of the Faith), a short treatise that presents his apologetic responses to each of the issues: incarnation, Trinity, salvation, eucharist and free will. The present article surveys the historical development of Islamic thought on these issues as it appears in polemical literature prior to, or contemporary with, De rationibus fidei . It seeks thereby to shed light on the reasoning behind the Islamic challenges and, more importantly, to give Thomas' response a role in the ongoing drama of Islamic - Christian interaction. |
