Religion Studies: Islam: Mission/Evangelism

Roger S. Greenway has compiled and edited ten of Zwemer's best chapters, all taken from books long out of print, and has added an introduction providing an overview of Zwemer's life and work.Because his insights are not dated, writes Greenway, Zwemer needs to be heard again. Islam and the Cross makes available some of Zwemer's insights regarding Islam, the basic differences between Islam and Christianity, and a sense of love for Muslim people and a passion for their salvation.

This book combines a description of folk Islam, biblical perspectives, and strategies for church planting among Muslims. In his theory on Muslim evangelism, Love tackles the major issues of encountering spiritual powers, contextualization, and leadership development. Teachers of Islamic subjects and practitioners in Muslim countries enthusiastically welcome this book.

How can we understand our Muslim friends and neighbours so that we can share the Gospel effectively with them? This book discusses their religion, culture and practices to find the points of contact that will help Muslims respond to the Christian Gospel. The author deals with the crucial differences between Islam and Christianity and answers important questions, such as: Is the God of the Bible the same as Allah? Is the Muslim Jesus, or "Isa", the same as the Jesus we know from the Gospels?
