Disputations of Christians and Saracens - Paperback

by St John of Damascus (Author), Nico Hatzi (Translator), D. C. Curtin (Translator)

In this dialogue, a Christian engages with a Saracen on profound theological questions regarding the origins of good and evil, the nature of God, and the existence of free will. The Christian argues that God is the source of all good, while evil arises from human choices and the devil. They discuss the implications of God's creation, the nature of Christ as both divine and human, and the significance of baptism. The Christian counters the Saracen's challenges with scriptural references and logical reasoning, ultimately leading the Saracen to a state of wonder and silence.
