What Every Christian Should Know About Islam
OF THE MANY books explaining Islam, few address the challenges facing those interested in finding out more about the faith from a Christian background. Moreover, certain Muslim zealots ignore the common background of the Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – and label non-Muslims as kuffar or non-believers. This updated edition discusses theological differences and similarities between Christianity and Islam, explains Islamic religious beliefs and practices, and answers the frequently-asked questions posed about Islam and Muslims, including those regarding terrorism and violence after 9/11. It is well-known that religions, and notably Islam, are often judged by the transgressions of their most extreme, ignorant and outlandish members. This short and easily accessible book seeks to provide an introduction to the mainstream theology and practice of Islam in an attempt to defuse some of the false impressions that surround it.
