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.

Download or read book Islam and Christianity in India and the Far East Classic Reprint written by Elwood Morris Wherry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Islam and Christianity in India and the Far East In the following chapters I have endeavoured to give an account of the Church's endeavour to bring the Gospel to the Moslems in India, China and Malaysia. This endeavour now appears not unlike the eiforts of those intrepid travellers who many years since started out to discover the sources of the Nile. One after an other entered upon this most difficult undertaking, each accomplished something of value, but for a long time the intrepid voyager either sacrificed his life in the wilds of Central Africa or returned to confess a failure. In due time the persistence of man has revealed the secret; the sealed doors at the head of the great mysterious river have been opened and once more the deserts of Egypt and Nubia are being converted into fruitful fields. The missionaries of the Eastern and Western Catholic Churches have done their work. Great tomes were writ ten by them to expound to Christian readers the Quran and the Traditions of Islam. Some Moslems were con verted, but the light of the Gospel was so obscured by the darkness of superstition and idolatry as to fail to reveal the way to the hearts of the followers of Moham med. It remained for Protestant Christianity to bring to the Moslems of India and the Far East the clear light of the teachings of Jesus Christ. It remained for Protestant governments to bring to the Moslem world the gospel of religious liberty and to enable the Christian evangelist to present the saving truth of God's Word to his Moslem hearer without let or hindrance. I have endeavoured to indicate some of the dangers which beset the agents of the Church in their evangel istic work among Moslems. My supreme desire is that the reading of this book may convince every Christian missionary that the weapons which will best bring vic tory to the Christian standards are prayer for the power of God's Holy Spirit to guide and prompt every word and act for their evangelisation, to enable the Christian to voice the Gospel in his life and dealings with them, and finally to place his dependence upon the Bible as the sword of the Spirit, able to convince and to convert the hearts of Moslem readers and hearers.

Download or read book Islam Or True Christianity written by Ernest De Bunsen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Islam or True Christianity: Including a Chapter on Mahomed's Place in the Church Natural religion, based on observations of natural phenomena, refers to more or less probable relations between the visible and the invisible world. Natural phenomena gave rise to conceptions about the world's origin and development; they raised the still nu answered question, Whence is man? What is he? And Whither is he going? Those forces of Nature which man regarded as the most powerful were by him personified and deified. Thus the idea of many gods may have swayed mankind for a long period. The observed harmony in Nature seemed, however, to point to one force above all others - to an aboriginal force. Incapable to define the essence and origin of the same, some Orientals assumed the eternal existence of an invisible, and apparently non material, world-pervading natural force, of an ether, breath, or spirit.

Download or read book Christian Theology and Islam written by James J Buckley and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Christians committed to the classical Christian tradition address the issues raised by contemporary Islam? Before a much-needed dialogue between Christians and Muslims is established, Christians need to ask themselves how their Scriptures and traditions might come to bear on such a dialogue. Do the divisions among Catholic and Evangelical Christians fracture the classical Christian tradition in ways that undercut Christian-Muslim dialogue before it has even begun? Or could the classical tradition provide invaluable resources for resolving divisions between Catholic and Evangelical Christians in ways that would prepare them for meaningful conversation with Muslim brothers and sisters? And what does it have to teach us about what Christians can and must learn from Muslims about their own traditions? The scholarly essays compiled in Christian Theology and Islam consider these and further questions, offering valuable insight for concerned Christians and academics in the fields of theology and religion.

Download or read book Conversion to Islam in the Premodern Age written by Nimrod Hurvitz and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversion to Islam is a phenomenon of immense significance in human history. At the outset of Islamic rule in the seventh century, Muslims constituted a tiny minority in most areas under their control. But by the beginning of the modern period, they formed the majority in most territories from North Africa to Southeast Asia. Across such diverse lands, peoples, and time periods, conversion was a complex, varied phenomenon. Converts lived in a world of overlapping and competing religious, cultural, social, and familial affiliations, and the effects of turning to Islam played out in every aspect of life. Conversion therefore provides a critical lens for world history, magnifying the constantly evolving array of beliefs, practices, and outlooks that constitute Islam around the globe. This groundbreaking collection of texts, translated from sources in a dozen languages from the seventh to the eighteenth centuries, presents the historical process of conversion to Islam in all its variety and unruly detail, through the eyes of both Muslim and non-Muslim observers.

Download or read book Conversion To Islam written by Ali Kose and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1996. Religious conversion is an immensely complex phenomenon. The term comprises such diverse experiences as increased devotion within the same religious structure, a shift from no religious commitment to a devout religious life, or a change from one religion to another. This study focuses on the conversion experiences of 70 native British converts to Islam. It addresses the following questions - why do people become Muslims, what are the backgrounds of the converts, what are the patterns of conversion to Islam, and how far are existing conversion theories applicable to the group under study. The full range of social and psychological forces at work in the conversion experience are examined with reference to the converts, whose whole life history - childhood, adolescent experiences and the conversion process itself - were examined in detail. Chapter 1 deals with the history and present situation of both life-long Muslims and converts living in Britain. Chapter 2 focuses on childhood and adolescent experiences reviewing the psychological and sociological theories of conversion and attempts to find out how far these theories are applicable to the converts to Islam. Chapter 3 examines the backgrounds of the converts regarding religion. It then analyzes the immediate antecedents of the conversion as well as the conversion process, focussing on version motifs. A conversion process model is also developed in this chapter. Chapter 4 looks at the post-conversion period to find out what changes the converts underwent. It also examines the relationship between converts, their parents and society at large. Chapter 5 reveals the findings on conversion through Sufism. Comparisons between conversion through Sufism and through new religious movements in the West are also made. This study should be an important addition to the study of religious conversion, as conversion to Islam either from outside or within Islam is widely neglected in the literature.
Download or read book Christian Mission to Muslims written by Lyle L. Vander Werff and published by William Carey Library. This book was released on 1977 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglican and Reformed Approaches in India and the Near East, 1800-1938 This book aims to offer the reader access to the treasury of experience and literature resulting from nineteenth- and twentieth-century missions to Muslims. Based on the author's doctoral work completed at the University of Edinburgh, this research also grew out of the author's mission service in the Near East. This volume represents research completed under the direction of professors W. M. Watt and A. C. Cheyne. Christian Mission to Muslims will prove of good encouragement to the host of Christ's disciples living and witnessing among their Muslim neighbors. This work is consistent with the larger biblical vision granted by God through prophet, Messiah, and apostle--a vision voiced in the Abrahamic prayer and the motto of the Arabian Mission: "O that Ishmael might live in thy sight!" (Gen 17:18); in Jesus's words: "I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice" (John 10:15-16); and in the abiding hope of Revelation 11:15: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever."
