Description: "Heirs of the Apostles offers a panoramic survey of Arabic-speaking Christians--descendants of the Christian communities established in the Middle East by the apostles--and their history, religion, and culture in the early Islamic and medieval periods. The subjects range from Arabic translations of the Bible, to the status of Christians in the Muslim-governed lands, Muslim-Christian polemic, and Christian-Muslim and Christian-Jewish relations. The volume is offered as a Festschrift to Sidney H. Griffith, the doyen of Christian Arabic Studies in North America, on his eightieth birthday."--
