Patristic Literature in Arabic Translations explores the Arabic translations of the Greek and Syriac Church Fathers, focusing on those produced in the Palestinian monasteries and at Sinai in the 8th–10th centuries and in Antioch during Byzantine rule (969–1084). These Arabic translations preserve patristic texts lost in the original languages. They offer crucial information about the diffusion and influence of patristic heritage among Middle Eastern Christians from the 8th century to the present. A systematic examination of Arabic patristic translations sheds light on the development of Muslim and Jewish theological thought.

"One is struck by the breadth of material that is covered in this collection, which includes apologetical, homiletical, and hagiographic texts, a revealing sample of the words medieval Arabic Christians read. The number of homilies that were translated is especially noteworthy, as it shows a preoccupation with texts intended for devotional reading. [...] [This book] provides a valuable contribution to scholarly understanding of medieval Arabic Christianity, and sheds new light on the theology and spirituality of Christians living in Arabic-speaking regions." - J. Luis Dizon, in Logos. A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies 63.1-4 (2022), 290-294
