At the same time, in On Providence Joseph Hazzaya reacts, by way of a remodelled Elijah-Apocalypse, to a rising wave of conversions to Islam that was to change the face of his homeland Mesopotamia as well as of the entire Middle East; thus, On Providence is a valuable addition to the scanty sources on that epochal change.Texts and studies in Eastern Christianity ;Volume 8.Providence and government of GodChristianityProvidence and government of GodChristianity.231/.5Kavvadas Nestor610219Ḥazzāyā Jausep1647952Ḥazzāyā Jausep1647952Kavvadas Nestor Chr.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807715003321Joseph Hazzaya on providence3995800UNINA
