Abstract
The spread and settlement of Christianity in the Arabic world prior to Islam is not the most popular topic. Archaeological focus was mainly directed to the early historic period and indigenous beliefs. However, the discovery of several sites along the coast of the Arabian Gulf and within the borders of present Iraq has rekindled interest. By creating an inventory of all known Christian-Arabian sites, I’ve tried to get a clear image of the spread and impact of Christianity in this region. The study mainly focussed on architecture, small finds and less on toponymic evidence. This contribution deals with some of the preliminary conclusions from this phase of the study. It is intended to be a starting point for further research and a call for attention to the problem of early Christianity in the Arabian area.
