| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation seeks to discuss the dialectical (<i> kalām</i>) and scriptural 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, `Ali ibn Sahl Rabban al-Tabarī (d. ca. 860), al-Hasan ibn Ayyūb (fl. ca. mid-tenth century), Nar ibn Yahya (d. 1163 or 1193), Yusuf al-Lubnani (d. ca. mid-thirteenth century), and Anselm Turmeda (d. 1423), all Christian converts to Islam, utilized biblical and qur'ānic 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 (<i> tahrīf</i>).
