 Reason and Revelation in Byzantine Antioch explains what happened to ancient Greek thought after antiquity, examining the work of the 11th-century Christian theologian Abdallah ibn al-Fadl. Challenging the narrative that treats Christian and Muslim scholars in isolation from one another in the Middle Ages, author Roberts reveals a shared culture of intellectual curiosity in the service of tradition.
