Description

Some Christians live in the midst of Muslim societies. Others view Islam from a distance. The Anglican Archdeacon in the Gulf is uniquely well placed to help them acquire a truer, fairer and more clear-sighted understanding of another great world faith of enormous significance in today’s world.’
-MICHAEL LEWIS

BISHOP IN CYPRUS AND THE GULF
Christians and Muslims has been marred by. conflict and distrust. From the time of the Crusades, the followers of the two faiths have been considered rivals. Recent events and media misrepresentation of Islam have only worsened this gap. Islam: A Christian Understanding examines the Muslim—Christian relationship bv comparing and contrasting the practices and ideologies of both religions, with the aim of helping Christians better understand Islam. This timely and comprehensive work challenges and tries to set straight the distortions that have been all too prevalent in mainstream discourse.
