By Thomas William Allies

Book Overview

Peter's Rock in Mohammed's Flood is a historical book written by Thomas William Allies in 1890. The book covers the period from St. Gregory the Great to St. Leo III and focuses on the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and the Islamic world during this time. The author examines the interactions between the two faiths, including the conflicts and alliances that arose. The title of the book refers to the Catholic Church's claim that St. Peter's authority was passed down to the Pope, making him the rock upon which the Church was built. The flood in the title represents the Islamic expansion during this period, which threatened the power and influence of the Catholic Church. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the political and religious landscape of the time and sheds light on the complex history of the relationship between Christianity and Islam.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
