Abstract

A major disagreement between early Muslims and Arabic-speaking Christians concerned the being of God. Muslim theologians condemned the Trinity as irrational, while Christians defended it as truth. A striking feature of their encounters is that neither side seemed intent on understanding or being understood, stubbornly insisting on their own correctness and refusing to seek compromise.
