Peter's Rock In Mohammed's Flood

Peter's Rock in Mohammed's Flood is a historical book written by Thomas William Allies, first published in 1890. The book traces the history of the Papacy from St. Gregory the Great to St. Leo III, examining the role of the Papacy in the face of Islamic expansion and the Byzantine Empire's decline. Allies argues that the Papacy played a crucial role in preserving Western civilization during this turbulent period, and that the Popes acted as a stabilizing force in the midst of political and religious turmoil. The title of the book refers to the symbolic importance of the Papacy as the ""rock"" upon which the Church is built, and the ""flood"" of Islamic expansion that threatened to engulf Europe. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval history, as well as those interested in the role of religion in shaping political and cultural developments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
