A Critical Study Of Ibn Taymia’s Response to Christianity

About the Book

Historical, political and religious factors occasioned to a vast interfaith polemical literature between Muslims and Christians. Along history, there had been many such polemical responses, in which the respective writers exerted to rebut the opponents’ doctrines and prove their own.

The crusaders and their political existence in the holy land and elsewhere, and their collusion with the Tatars against the Muslims at some epochs of history induced many antipathetic reactions that ranged from military to academic.

Besides, the Islamic duty of defending and propagating Islam imposed and provoked the responses of many Muslim scholars. Among the very prominent responses is that which Ibn Taymiyyah, who lived in the thirteenth and fourteenth century, launched.

Ibn Taymiyyah wrote prolifically almost about every subject of religious import. Regarding refuting Christianity, apart from the small tracts and chapters in different books, he wrote a voluminous book challenging their assertions against Islam and disproving Christian allegations and doctrines.
