520    Amid so much twenty-first-century talk of a "Christian-
       Muslim divide"--And the attendant controversy in some 
       Western countries over policies toward minority Muslim 
       communities--a historical fact has gone unnoticed: for 
       more than four hundred years beginning in the mid-seventh 
       century, some 50 percent of the world's Christians lived 
       and worshipped under Muslim rule. Just who were the 
       Christians in the Arabic-speaking milieu of Mohammed and 
       the Qur'an? The Church in the Shadow of the Mosque is the 
       first book-length discussion in English of the cultural 
       and intellectual life of such Christians indigenous to the
       Islamic world. Sidney Griffith offers an engaging overview
       of their initial reactions to the religious challenges 
       they faced, the development of a new mode of presenting 
       Christian doctrine as liturgical texts in their own 
       languages gave way to Arabic, the Christian role in the 
       philosophical life of early Baghdad, and the maturing of 
       distinctive Oriental Christian denominations in this 
       context. Offering a fuller understanding of the rise of 
       Islam in its early years from the perspective of 
       contemporary non-Muslims, this book reminds us that there 
       is much to learn from the works of people who seriously 
       engaged Muslims in their own world so long ago. --
