This open call panel explores how Christians in late antiquity and the early medieval period responded theologically to emergent Islam. Confirmed papers investigate the Christian use of distinctively Islamic theological and juridical categories and the methods that Christians used to engage the Qur?an. This panel is open to scholars exploring Christian responses to early Islam in diverse geographical, cultural, and linguistic contexts. The panel can welcome a maximum of three additional papers.
