Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

First published in 2005, this book addresses the challenges arising from Christian-Muslim encounter and attempts to enable outsiders to understand the religion of Islam. The author offers distinctive perspectives that complement much other literature in the study of Islam and, in particular, Christian-Muslim relations and the relation of Islam and the West.

Routledge Revivals: The Challenge of Islam is divided into three parts: Part I constitutes an introduction to Islam, Part II delves into aspects of the wider encounter with Islam, and Part III explores issues in regard to the prospect of engaging in dialogue with Islam.

The author argues that in the post-9/11 world, the imperative to understand and engage with Islam is urgent and intends this work to assist the reader in doing so.
