Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Setting of the Crescent and the Rising of the Cross: Or Kamil Abdul Messiah, a Syrian Convert From Islam to Christianity It is not easy for a Mohammedan to embrace Christianity, but Kamil's history shows that when he is converted the Moslem becomes a strong and Vigorous Christian. The element of divine truth which Mohammed derived from the Old and New Testaments, and which runs like a vein of gold through that extraordinary book, the Koran, teaching the existence and attributes of God, the responsibility of man, and a final judgment, is a good foundation to build upon.

Mohammed (on him be prayer and peace !) according to the word of the precious Koran. That is the religion of Islam. "The only true creed is this, 'I testify that there is no god but God, and Mohammed is his Apostle.' "Then the five daily prayers, then alms. If one has seven hundred piasters [$25] he is rich and must give alms, and if he has more he must give accordingly. He must perform the pilgrimage to the house of God, the Haram in Mecca if he is able. One visit is enough to pay the obligation. He must also fast during the month of Ramadan. Any one who neglects any of these duties is not a perfect Moslem, and all his worship is corrupt. "As to what is forbidden by Mohammed, our lord (on him be prayer and peace !): "He forbids our joining anything with God in worship and bids us leave all other religions and follow his religion which God has enjoined, and obey its injunctions. These things are a duty and we must follow them. He has forbidden us from following another religion. "Now with regard to your four questions, we reply: "I. It is lawful to read the Old and New Testaments, but unlawful to act according to them, because the book of the Great God which he sent down to our lord Mohammed (on him be prayer and peace !) has abrogated the wisdom of all previous laws. "II. This is already answered in the above. "III. The Old and New Testaments are the books of God. He sent down the Old Testament [Tourah] to our lord Moses the Kaleem [the addressed] of God, on him be the prayers of God! and the New Testament [Injeel] he sent down to our Lord Aiesa [Jesus], on him be peace! "IV. The Old and New Testaments were sent down to the honored apostles by inspiration from God. "We have now told you what is necessary in reply to your questions, and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American Biblical Orientalism: The Construction of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Nineteenth-Century American Evangelical Piety examines the life and work of Eli Smith, William McClure Thomson, and Edward Robinson and their descriptions of the “Bible Lands.” While there has been a great deal written about American travelogues to the Holy Lands, this book focuses on how these three prominent American Protestants described the indigenous peoples, and how those images were consumed by American Christians who had little direct experience with the “Bible Lands.” David D. Grafton argues that their publications (Biblical Researches, Later Biblical Researches, and The Land and the Book) profoundly impacted the way that American Protestants read and interpreted the Bible in the late-nineteenth century. The descriptions and images of the people found their way into American Bible dictionaries, theological dictionaries, and academic and religious circles of a growing bible readership in North America. Ultimately, the people of late Ottoman society (e.g. Jews, Christians and Muslims) were essentialized as the living characters of the Bible. These peoples were fitted into categories as heroes or villains from biblical stories, and rarely seen as modern people in their own right. Thus, in the words of Edward Said, they were “orientalized."

Download or read book American Christians and Islam written by Thomas S. Kidd and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, many of America's Christian evangelicals have denounced Islam as a "demonic" and inherently violent religion, provoking frustration among other Christian conservatives who wish to present a more appealing message to the world's Muslims. Yet as Thomas Kidd reveals in this sobering book, the conflicted views expressed by today's evangelicals have deep roots in American history. Tracing Islam's role in the popular imagination of American Christians from the colonial period to today, Kidd demonstrates that Protestant evangelicals have viewed Islam as a global threat--while also actively seeking to convert Muslims to the Christian faith--since the nation's founding. He shows how accounts of "Mahometan" despotism and lurid stories of European enslavement by Barbary pirates fueled early evangelicals' fears concerning Islam, and describes the growing conservatism of American missions to Muslim lands up through the post-World War II era. Kidd exposes American Christians' anxieties about an internal Islamic threat from groups like the Nation of Islam in the 1960s and America's immigrant Muslim population today, and he demonstrates why Islam has become central to evangelical "end-times" narratives. Pointing to many evangelicals' unwillingness to acknowledge Islam's theological commonalities with Christianity and their continued portrayal of Islam as an "evil" and false religion, Kidd explains why Christians themselves are ironically to blame for the failure of evangelism in the Muslim world. American Christians and Islam is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the causes of the mounting tensions between Christians and Muslims today.
