УТИЦАЈ РАНОГ ХРИШЋАНСТВА НА ИСЛАМ
INFLUENCE OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY ON ISLAM

Summary/Abstract: In developing the topic of the paper we started from the transparent picture of real life in Arabia through presentation of the most important religious and sociocultural elements. Historic circumstances but also the strategic trade interest between the two world empires – Bisantine and Persia brought the two empires into conflict. Bisantine empire was the protector of the Hasanides which professed monophisity, and Persia protected the Lahmids which protected the interests of Nestorianism and Judaism. All of these religious teachings, dominantly of the Syrian – Palestinian type, influenced Islamic moneteism during the following period, which outlined main stream Arabian Christian civilization. Besides the specific Judeo-Christian teachings Biblical and apocrifal-mythological influence was noticed, whose religious segments were incorporated into Koran. Therefore, this paper’s goal is to clarify, at least partially, how ancient flows of Judeo-Christian civilization of Palestinian and Syrian type but with hetorodox religious teachings, were monopolised, and how they infiltrated into Islamic egzegesis. Their complexity tells us about the mytho-poetic language of Koran.
