In Christian Apocalyptic Texts in Islamic Messianic Discourse Orkhan Mir Kasimov offers an account of the interpretation of these Christian texts by Fadl Allah Astarabadi (d. 796/1394), the founder of a mystical and messianic movement which was influential in medieval Iran and Anatolia. This interpretation can be situated within the tradition of positive Muslim hermeneutics of the Christian and Jewish scriptures which was particularly developed in Shıi i and especially Ismai li circles. Fadl Allah incorporates the Christian apocalyptic texts into an Islamic eschatological context, combining them with Quran and hadith material. In addition to an introductory study, the book contains a critical edition and an English translation of the relevant passages from Fadl Allahs magnum opus, the Javidan nama-yi kabir.

Early Christian-Muslim Debate on the Unity of God examines the writings of three of the earliest known Christian theologians to write comprehensive theological works in Arabic. Theodore Abu Qurra, Abu Raita and Ammar al-Basri provide valuable insight into early Christian-Muslim debate shortly after the rise of the Islamic empire. Through close examination of their writings on the doctrine of the Trinity, Sara Husseini demonstrates the creativity of these theologians, who make use of language, style and argumentation characteristic of Islamic theological thought (kalam), in order to help articulate their long-established religious truths. Husseini offers close analysis of the authors individually and comparatively, exploring their engagement with Islamic theology and their role in this fascinating period.
