Reaching Muslims : a one-stop guide for Christians

Personal Author EPSB
Nick. Chatrath

Summary
A fascinating introduction covering demography, theology, culture, politics, justice, and other aspects of Islamic identity. It is well illustrated with stories and examples. Nick considers what reasons a Muslim might have for thinking that Jesus is good news. What does the Qur'an say about Jesus? Why do we know that God loves Muslims? He then suggests ways to help build open-hearted friendships and to equip Christians to connect with Muslims and then he deals with three theological hot potatoes - should Christians call God 'Allah'; should a convert from Islam be baptised; and should Christians eat halal meat? Detailed appendices provide sample talks for Muslim audiences, and offer specific ways to foster contact with the Muslim community.
