| Abstract

This dissertation considers the manner in which Muslims viewed the Bible in disputational literature of the 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup> centuries CE. Muslim views on the Bible have been dichotomized in recent scholarship into the following categories: <i>tahrīf al-ma'nā </i> (misinterpretation), which is characterized as the “early” view; and <i>tahrīf al-nass</i> (textual corruption), which is characterized as the “later” view. This dissertation challenges this characterization of “early” Muslim views on the Bible through an examination of the following: (1) al-Qāsim b. Ibrāhīm’s (d. 860 CE) <i>al-Radd 'alā al-nasārā </i> (The Refutation of the Nasārā), which is the earliest dialectical Muslim refutation of Christian doctrine and considered the prime exemplar of “early” Muslim views on the Bible; (2) Muslim disputational literature of the 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup> centuries CE, including the works of Ibn al-Layth (d. ca. 819), 'Alī al-Tabarī (d. ca. 860), al-Jāhiz (d. 868f), and Ibn Qutayba (d. 889); and (3) Christians perceptions of Muslim views on the Bible, as demonstrated in the works ascribed, whether legitimately or not, to the Byzantine emperor Leo III (d. 741), Theodore Abū Qurrah (d. after 816), Timothy I (d. 823), Habīb ibn Khidma Abū Rā'itah (d. ca. 835), 'Ammār al-Basrī (d. mid-9<sup>th</sup> cent.), 'Abd al-Masīh b. Ishāq al-Kindī (likely d. 9<sup>th</sup> cent.), and Abraham of Tiberias (ca. late 9<sup>th</sup> cent.).
