  • The Monk Encounters the Prophet—The Story of the Encounter Between Monk Bahīra and Muhammad As It Is Recorded in the Syriac Manuscript of Mardin 259/2
    Cultural and Religious Studies, Nov.-Dec. 2015, Vol. 3, No. 6, 349-357 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2015.06.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Monk Encounters the Prophet—The Story of the Encounter between Monk Bahīra and Muhammad as It Is Recorded in the Syriac Manuscript of Mardin 259/2 Abjar Bahkou Baylor University, Waco, USA The Syriac communities have been, since the eighth century, orally circulating the story of monk Sargis-Bahīra. Although its oral tradition is widely spread, the written story is not well studied or publicized.1 Moreover, the oral story (stories) has been embellished and/or distorted and ends with varying conclusions. At a later period, the Christian version of Bahīra was translated into Armenian and Latin where it gained more popularity, as a means of apology. There are a few versions of the story in different languages such as Arabic, Armenian, Latin, west-Syriac and East-Syriac. It is not the purpose of this study to present a critical edition of the various versions of the story. The purpose is to present an overview that will highlight the important historical events embedded in the story and its religious motifs, with the particular attention to the Syriac manuscript of Mardin 259/2. Throughout the story, the reader will be guided to look at the text within its own historical and apologetic context. Keywords: Christian Arabic Theology, Muslim-Christian dialogue, Church History The Text of Monk Bahīra The text of Monk Bahīra is an evidence of how historical traditions may have been perverted for polemical purposes.

  • 1. Introduction to Ecstatic Readings
    1. INTRODUCTION TO ECSTATIC READINGS 1.0. PRELIMINARY REMARKS: TITE PT,RPOSE AND MEANS According to the hypothesis underlying this study, Syriac and Sufi texts refer repeatedly to and deal with something "mystical" which is absolutely nonlin- guistic in nature, yet is expr€ssed linguistically under the conditions and restric- tions of natu¡al language; this something is an important factor constituting the character ofthe discourse, but it does not submit to being an object ofresearch. For this ¡eason, we must place it in brackets and content ou¡selves with the docu- mented process of expression and interpretation. The purpose of this study is to undertake a systematic survey of the different constituents ofecstatic readings in Syriac ascetic literature, including the process of expression and interpretation (and manifestation, as fa¡ as possible), and to present this together with a corresponding analysis of classical Sufism as it is manifested in its authoritative literature, and finally, to make concluding rema¡ks conceming common featu¡es and differences between the traditions. The concept of mystical experience is employed in the broad sense, covering the concepts of"ecstasy" and "trance", fr¡rther details (and the reasons for the lack ofprecise definitions for any ofthese concepts) being discussed below (p. 38 ff.). The Syriac corpus consists of more than I ,500 pages of literature by about l0 authors, the most important of whom a¡e Isaac of Nineveh, John of Dalyathq and 'Abdiðo' (Joseph) the Seer. All the main sources are basically internal monastic correspondence from one hermit to another, the result being a great variety of relatively frank descriptions of inner experiences.

At the risk of ignoring subtle theological distinctions, though, a reader would not go far wrong by understanding both terms as meaning simply “ancient Chris tian denominations mainly active outside Europe.” Chris tian ity originated in the Near East, and during the fi rst few centuries it had its greatest centers, its most prestigious churches and monasteries, in Syria, Palestine, and Mesopotamia.

  • Christian Apostate Literature in Medieval Islam Dissertation
    Voices of the Converted: Christian Apostate Literature in Medieval Islam Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Clint Hackenburg, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Kevin van Bladel, Advisor Bilal Orfali Hadi Jorati Copyright by Clint Hackenburg 2015 Abstract This dissertation seeks to discuss the dialectical (kalām) and scriptural (both biblical and qurʾānic) reasoning used to justify Christian conversion to Islam during the medieval period (750 - 1492 C.E.). With this objective in mind, I will compare and contrast the manners in which five different Arabophone authors, ʿAlī ibn Sahl Rabban al-Ṭabarī (d. ca. 860), al-Ḥasan ibn Ayyūb (fl. ca. mid-tenth century), Naṣr ibn Yaḥyā (d. 1163 or 1193), Yūsuf al-Lubnānī (d. ca mid-thirteenth century), and Anselm Turmeda (d. 1423), all Christian converts to Islam, utilized biblical and qurʾānic proof-texts alongside dialectical reasoning to invalidate the various tenets of Christianity while concurrently endorsing Islamic doctrine. These authors discuss a wide variety of contentious issues pervading medieval Christian-Muslim dialogue. Within the doctrinal sphere, these authors primarily discuss the Trinity and Incarnation, the nature of God, and the corruption of the Bible (taḥrīf). Within the exegetical realm, these authors primarily discussed miracles, prophecy, and prophetology. Moreover, this dissertation seeks to discern how these authors and their works can be properly contextualized within the larger framework of medieval Arabic polemical literature. That is to say, aside from parallels and correspondences with one another, what connections, if any, do these authors have with other contemporary Arabophone Muslim, Christian, and, to a lesser extent, Jewish apologists and polemicists? ii In the course of my research on Christian apostate literature, I have come to two primary conclusions.

Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December, 2018 ABSTRACT IMAGINING DEMONS IN POST-BYZANTINE JERUSALEM: JOHN OF DAMASCUS AND THE CONSOLIDATION OF CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN DEMONOLOGY The Rev. Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation traces the consolidation of a classical Christian framework for demonology in the theological corpus of John of Damascus (c. 675 – c. 750), an eighth century Greek theologian writing in Jerusalem. When the Damascene sat down to write, I argue, there was a great variety of demonological options available to him, both in the depth of the Christian tradition, and in the ambient local imagination. John’s genius lies first in what he chose not to include, but second in his ability to synthesize a minimalistic demonology out of a complex body of material and integrate it into a broader theological system.
