註釋"The eleventh century was a moment of great intellectual ferment for Muslims and Christians alike. In that ferment stood Elias, the Bishop of Nisibis (975-1046 AD), a key figure in Syrian Christianity's dialogue with Islam. Foi et culture brings together eleven papers published between 1975 and 1988 on the life, works, and theology of Elias of Nisibis. The main highlight of this collection is the critical editions, annotated and translated into French, of the First and the Seventh Discussions of Kitab almajalis, Elias' record of his debate with a local Muslim vizier. Also included is an anonymous treatise (Kitab al-kamal) bearing Elias' influence and that of his contemporary, Abu al-Faraj Abd Allah b. al-Tayyib (d. 1043).

Elias advanced the bold thesis that Christian doctrine (notably, the Melkite, Nestorian, and Jacobite credos(2)) agreed with the highest Islamic orthodoxy on God and His blessed names. To prove his point, he cited men of unimpeachable authority in the kalam tradition, invoking Baqillani(3) words to the effect that the Christian."--https://search.proquest.com/openview/9fe1ff47d480a22df5ea5edd4aed0e02/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=25886 (viewed October 11, 2018).
