This volume examines the Melkite church from the Arab invasion of
Syria in 634 until 969. The Melkite Patriarchates were established
in Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria and, following the Arab
campaigns in Syria and Egypt, they all came under the new Muslim
state. Over the next decades the Melkite church underwent a process
of gradual marginalization, moving from the privileged position of
the state confession to becoming one of the religious minorities of
the Caliphate. This transition took place in the context of
theological and political interactions with the Byzantine Empire,
the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Papacy and, over time, with
the reborn Roman Empire in the West. Exploring the various
processes within the Melkite church this volume also examines
Caliphate-Byzantine interactions, the cultural and religious
influences of Constantinople, the synthesis of Greek, Arab and
Syriac elements, the process of Arabization of communities, and
Melkite relations with distant Rome.
