Abstract

Speakers of Arabic were among the first peoples to hear the gospel preached. They witnessed the first Pentecost and heard the Apostle Paul, who visited Arabia (present-day Jordan) immediately after his conversion. Although several Arab tribes had converted to Christianity prior to the rise of Islam and undoubtedly used Arabic in their religious practice, the use of Arabic as a Christian literary language began with the Islamic conquest of the Middle East. For over thirteen hundred years, from the seventh century until today, the constant struggle to articulate and proclaim the Christian faith in a language largely defined by Islam gave the Christian communities of the Arab lands much of their unique character.

Özet

Arapça konuşanlar, İncil’in vaazını işiten ilk halklar arasındaydı. Onlar ilk Pentakost’a şahitlik ettiler ve vizyon geçirdikten hemen sonra Arabistan’ı (Bugünkü Ürdün) ziyaret eden havari Pavlus’u işittiler. İslam’ın ortaya çıkışından önce her ne kadar birkaç Arap kabilesi Hıristiyanlığı kabul etmiş ve hiç şüphesiz Arapçayı kendi dini pratiklerinde kullanmış olsalar da Arapçanın Hıristiyan yazınsal dili olarak kullanımı, İslam’ın Ortadoğu’yu fethi ile başladı. On üç yüzyıldan daha fazladır, yedinci yüzyıldan günümüze kadar, büyük ölçüde İslam'ın tanımladığı bir dilde Hıristiyan inancını dile getirme ve ilan etme mücadelesi, Arap topraklarındaki Hıristiyan toplumların özgün karakterlerinin büyük kısmını oluşturdu.
