Book Evangelical Christian Responses to Islam

Download or read book Evangelical Christian Responses to Islam written by Richard McCallum and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Who was Muhammad? How does the Israeli–Palestinian conflict affect Christian–Muslim relations? This is a book about Evangelical Christians and how they are answering challenging questions about Islam. Drawing on over 300 texts published by Evangelicals in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, this book explores what the Evangelical micro-public sphere has to say about key issues in Christian–Muslim relations today. From the books they write, the blogs they post and the videos they make, it is clear that Evangelical Christians profoundly disagree with one another when discussing Islam. Answers to the questions range from seeing Muslims as the enemy posing an existential threat to Christians, through to welcoming them as good neighbours or even as close cousins.

Book Routledge Handbook on Christian Muslim Relations

Download or read book Routledge Handbook on Christian Muslim Relations written by David Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The matter of Christian–Muslim relations cannot be ignored these days. While the term itself may not appear all that often, relations between the two faiths and their reciprocal perceptions are undeniable influences behind many current conflicts, declarations of mutual recognition and peace negotiations, not to mention the brooding hatred of religious extremists. Since 9/11, relations between the two faiths have, in one form or another, hardly been away from the news. This Handbook contains fundamental information about the major aspects of relations between Christians and Muslims. Its various sections follow the history from the early seventh century to the present, the major religious issues that have led to disputes between the two faiths, and the political implications of religious differences at various stages through history, as well as in the present. It includes analysis of scriptural and theological themes and explores the characteristics of relations at important points in history and also in various parts of the world today. Chapters are devoted to the most significant intellectual interpretations and encounters, the main armed clashes, including the Crusades, and the important documents issued by each faith that in recent years have led the way towards new developments in recognition and acceptance. With chapters written by some of the foremost experts in the field, the book traces the largely dark history of relations and explains the underlying reasons why Muslims and Christians have found tolerance and respect for the other difficult. It is an excellent resource for understanding the past and for highlighting lessons for future relations between the world’s two largest religions.

Book Prophets in the Qur   n and the Bible

Download or read book Prophets in the Qur n and the Bible written by Daniel S. Baeq and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of prophets and prophecy is a central area of theological research and discussion in both Christianity and Islam. While academic researches on the prophets of Islamic tradition do exist, it is rare to find studies which compare them with the biblical accounts based on evangelical theology. This book provides theological analysis of the biblical prophets which appear in the Qur’an and the Islamic literature. The selection of prophets includes Adam, Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Yusuf (Joseph), Musa (Moses), Dawud (David), Ezekiel (Dhul-Kifl), Zakariya, Yahya (John, the Baptist), and Mary the Mother of Jesus. The contributors are a distinguished group of international scholars who combine impressive academic credentials with extensive ministry among Muslims. Moreover, the international nature of the contributors lends credibility to the work as an exercise in global theology. This book lays a good foundation for the comparison of scriptural and theological traditions of two world major religions and for generating further discussions.

Book H  M  Baagil   s Muslim Christian Dialogue

Download or read book H M Baagil s Muslim Christian Dialogue written by A. Yousef Al-Katib and published by TellerBooks. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. H. M. Baagil’s Muslim Christian Dialogue is a proselytic tract that sets forth Islam’s primary charges against Christianity: the corruption of Scriptures revealed to earlier prophets and the adoption of false and idolatrous doctrine. Dr. Baagil’s treatise has been used by countless Islamic organizations to urge Christians to return to the pure, authentic, uncorrupted religion of Islam. Yet Dr. Baagil’s tract employs insidious and subtle twists of logic to support its conclusions. The book is especially dangerous to the Christian or Muslim unschooled in Christian doctrine or having shallow biblical knowledge. Such a reader will fall prey to Dr. Baagil’s traps, thus being led astray from the truth of the Gospel to an impotent form of religion that denies Jesus’ salvific power. At last—there is now an answer to Dr. Baagil’s treatise. In this volume, A. Yousef Al-Katib sets forth a systemic reply to each of Dr. Baagil’s attacks on Christianity. A. Yousef Al-Katib, himself a Christian convert who spent more than five years in religious study before experiencing the miraculous power of Jesus to heal and to save, thoroughly replies to, refutes and rebuts each of Dr. Baagil’s arguments on a detailed point-by-point basis. He reveals Dr. Baagil’s innumerable contradictions, false statements, circular arguments, illogicisms and erroneous biblical interpretations.
