"A study of the identity-formation process that the Christians of Syria-Palestine
experienced during the Umayyad Caliphate. It approaches this subject by using John
of Damascus and his writings on Islam as a case-study. This provides an exhaustive
study of the available historical data in order to stimulate some further thought
on John of Damascus's theology and legacy from a contextual and intercultural methodology.
Such an examination has not yet been pursued in the scholarship of Byzantine Christianity
during that era. Proceeding from a centralizing `context', the monograph revisits
John of Damascus's legacy (and the Umayyad Christians' identity-formation of that
era) from the perspective of his historical, Islamic-Arabic context, and not from
any assumed, metanarrative, common to contemporary pro-Byzantine theology scholars."
