Before the rise of Islam, Arabia had a strong Christian population. This book tells the story of the first six centuries of Christian Arabia. Though there was never a distinctive Arab church, millions of Arabs professed their faith within the traditions of Syriac Christianity. Author and scholar J. Spencer Trimingham examines the spread of Christianity among the nomadic tribes of northern Arabia and central and southern Arabia. He weaves together a wide range of scholarship and sources to present an absorbing account of the history of the Arabs before the rise of Islam. An invaluable study for all those concerned with the history of Arabia and early Christianity.
