Bradley Bowman delves into this confessional synthesis between similar religious groups in the medieval Near East. He contends that this potential ecumenism was founded on the shared core principles of piety and righteous conduct. These essential traits, deeply rooted in monasticism in the East, likely provided a mutually inclusive common ground for Muslim and Christian communities of the time. This was evident in Muslim admiration, interest, and, on occasion, participation in Christian monastic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 536g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 240 x 24 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474479684                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bradley Bowman","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44096242450682,"sku":"9781474479684","price":77.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c9d08d431f1fa6e45d7ed77c14bff2c1.jpg?v=1632194322","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/christian-monastic-life-in-early-islam","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
