Summary/Abstract: The Christian Church of the first centuries knew a quick and intense development within the oriental Arabian-Syrian area, maintaining a close connection with the Apostolic Church of Jerusalem. The Christianization of this geographic area led to the familiarity of the Arabian population with the Christian tenets, contributing to the genesis and affirmation of the theology thesaurus in the Syriac language. It is very important for our research to know the existence of the Christian communities in this pre-Islamic Arabian space. The Christian Churches entrance into the shadows within the Arabian communities was due to the occurrence and the spread of Islam.
