Download or read book The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent written by Erwin W. Lutzer and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam is on the rise all over the West, including America. In this compelling new book, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer urges Christians to see this as both an opportunity to share the gospel and a reason for concern. We have now reached a tipping point—the spread of Islam is rapidly altering the way we live. These changes are cause for alarm, for they endanger our freedoms of speech and religion. At the same time, this opens an incredible door of ministry for Christians, for Muslims normally do not have access to the gospel in their own lands. In The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, readers will discover helpful answers to these questions and more: How does Islam’s growing influence affect me personally? In what ways are our freedoms of speech and religion in danger? How can I extend Christ’s love to Muslims around me? A sensitive, responsible, and highly informative must-read!

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...

Book excerpt: The Cross And The Crescent: An Ecumenical Perspecitive is an analytical study of Christianity and Islam and a look at their relationship to one another. It is also much more. This study differs from all other works on the subject by tracing the differences in belief between the two great religions to matters of interpretation rather than substance. It is written to introduce both Christians and Moslems to each other's faith, without any bias or preconditions, or and preconcieved notions.The main theme of this work is the relationship of the two great faiths both historically and spiritually. The introduction views the Islamic theories of revelation as well as the Christian theory and sets the tone for the study in a genuine ecumenical spirit.
Download or read book The Crescent and the Cross written by Oliver Ramsbotham and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the product of dialogue between a group of leading British Muslim and Christian scholars concerned about the alleged danger to the 'West' of Islamic 'fundamentalism'. It analyses the ethical and legal principles, rooted in both traditions, underlying any use of armed force in the modern world. After chapters on the history, theology and laws of war as seen from both sides, the book applies its conclusions to (a) the 1990-91 Gulf War and (b) the Bosnian Conflict. It concludes that Huntington's 'Clash of Civilisations' thesis is a dangerous myth.
Download or read book The Crescent in Light of the Cross written by D M Di Francesco and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-18 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If anything is clear about the history of the Middle East, it is that the region is desperately in need of the Gospel. Once home to various Christian groups, the region's Christians now represent less than 5% of the population after two genocides committed against them since the beginning of the 20th century. Yet, how do we re-evangelize a region whose leaders forbid preaching the Good News of the Lord Jesus? The Crescent in Light of the Cross lays the groundwork for a simple method of inviting our Muslim brothers and sisters to encounter the Lord Jesus by arguing for the historical truth of Christianity and highlighting the love of God found in his Church. At a time when many Muslims are moving to the West, we have a unique opportunity to preach the Gospel and share God's love, so they too might seek to bring about the Kingdom of God on earth.
