- In this interview I sit down with Professor Martino Diez to discuss the Bible's history in Arabic. We discuss how both Christians and Muslims would have interacted with the Bible in the Middle Ages, the state of Christian learning in the Islamicate world, and the work of one Christian historian Ibn al-'Amid.
Martino Diez is associate professor of Arabic language and literature at the Catholic University of Milan. He is also scientific director of the Oasis International Foundation. In 2018-2019 he was a visiting member at the Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton, where he started the project of critically editing Ibn al-ʿAmīd’s Universal History.

This channel is so unique on CZcams. Prof. Gabriel's efforts are much appreciated.
One of my favourite channels :) Always great to see more content
Fascinating. Thanks for conducting this interview. Would enjoy more inter-religous studies interviews like this, helps us understand ideas in context when understanding them in dialogue
Ohhh interesting title of the video gonna get my tea ready for this 😁
Peace be upon him
BEST wishes
The Quran and the bible, each of the two books has its own ingenuity and value!
If the Quran is true, then the Bible is true. But if the Bible is true, then the Quran is false.
The Quran may be a quirky document in history, but inspired it is not.
Well, your position is dogmatic, let the academicians sort out the truth!
@radwanabu-issa4350 It is a academic evaluation of the text that drives that. Both make truth claims. The Wuran makes a self refuting truth claim.
Controversial thing here
But
What if…
None of them are true! 😮
@pxnchx93 Then you have to explain why people believed they were true when they weren't. Please bring evidence and not just conjecture.
It is funny how Reynolds keeps jumping in every each minute to direct Diez's answers in the way he wants them to be :)
His facial expressions are also quite interesting to watch.
If you look carefully, it happened on most interview, Gabriel has an agenda, obviously 😅
He underestimated...
Necessary to be cautious...
People moves, we cannat expect arabs lived in a box and never introduced anything other than idols. Besides they were camel merchants, they went everywhere from china to anatolia, they had ports that they commonly visited in Egypt , jerusalem syria… also there were christian arabs, nestorians , ebionities, zoroastrians etc… so comes the quran…
According to the Torah & Bible, Abraham and his descendants are tent-dwelling bedouins.
Even Saint Paul the father of Christianity was a tent-maker and made up the creed of Christianity in the three years he was living in Arabia:
In the book of Galatians, Paul emphasizes that he received the gospel from Jesus directly and not from the other apostles Galatians 1:11-20:
“I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ .. I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia."
The king of the Jews at the time of Jesus, King Herod the Great, was a full-blooded Ishmaelite Arab.
When Saint Paul fled to Arabia, he was fleeing from the ruler of Damscus, Aretas the Arab.
It's even thought that the House of Omri, the most powerful house of Israel was Arab.
Christianity and Judaism are the Hellenized versions of an Abrahamic bedouin religion from Arabia.
I am a revert to Islam and I see no reason not to read the Bible, it is affirmed as revelation by the Quran and for a couple reasons cannot be corrupt (after how can Jews and Christians judge by the Scriptures as the Quran commands if the Scriptures are corrupt, and how can you find Muhammad (PBUH) in the Bible if the Bible is corrupt?), and the main thing that convinced me that Jesus (PBUH) is not God (SWT) was reading the Bible as it stands. In-fact it was a verse in one of the Pauline Epistles (Hebrews) which was the final thing that convinced me of the humanity of Christ.
It wasn't read as scripture
[read anything by the calendar - wont of timing guts text]
The Arab Bedouin used biblical material for their folk tales, that's how the characters entered the Qur'an
Thats just an assertion. ?
Yhh that's just a random guess you can never know that. Plus who are these "bedouins" that were reading the Bible 🤨
Well, you are ignorant not only of the Quran but also of the bible, each of the two books has its own ingenuity and value!
Actually true. I believe Jesus is a made up character
" Arab Bedouin " that world could get you killed in the 7th century, as the 7th century Arabs we're extremely racist against Bedouins and you can see that in the Quran as well.
