From the author: The article examines Maximus the Confessor's reaction to the Arab-Muslim invasion of the Byzantine Roman Empire. It also appraises Islam's place in the 7th century as presenting a view of divine-human relations as an alternative to the views of Christian confessions. The article concludes by advancing a hypothesis about the antithetical relationship between Islam and Monotheletism, which was dominant at that time in Byzantium.
