Abstract

Hıristiyanlık ve İslam, İslam’ın ortaya çıkmasından kısa bir süre sonra karşılaşmışlar ve sonraki bütün tarih boyunca karşılıklı etkileşimi sürdürmüşlerdir. Bu tarihi karşılaşmanın cereyan ettiği VII. yüzyıl, Müslüman bilim çevrelerince genellikle İslam kaynaklarından takip edilmiştir. Hâlbuki aynı dönemde Doğu Hıristiyan yazarlar da bu sürece ilişkin önemli değerlendirmeler yapmışlardı. Onların bu değerlendirmeleri, modern bilim dünyasında hala canlı bir tartışma konusudur. Nitekim bu makalede, Doğu Hıristiyan kaynaklarından hareketle, Hıristiyan toplulukların erken dönemde Müslüman ordularını karşılayış biçimleri üzerinde durulmuş, onların Müslüman idaresini nasıl yorumladıkları ele alınmış ve konuya ilişkin modern tartışmalara temas edilmiştir
