Produktbeschreibung

Muslim Conversions to Christ focuses on the so-called Insider Movement (as promoted by certain missiologists). Drawing on international scholars and practitioners in the fields of the history and nature of Islam, the Qur'an, Christian-Muslim relations, biblical theology, and practical missiology, this book presents a solid academic rejoinder to the IM phenomenon. Moreover, it brings into the conversation the voices of believers from Muslim backgrounds (BMBs), Middle Eastern scholars, and missiologists living among Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere. Readers will understand that Muhammad is not a prophet based on the Bible and that the Qur'an is not a scriptural guide for Muslims after their conversion. Rather than acquiesce in IM marketing ploys, such readers will be encouraged to stand in solidarity with BMBs who suffer for their faith.

Rezensionen

"This is a much needed book for which I am most thankful. As I look at missions work around the world, I see constant temptations to dilute the gospel, conversion, and the church in order to supposedly reach more people for Christ. Even with the best of motives, we are prone to malign the truth of Christ and minimize the call of Christ in ways that defame the name of Christ. Such tendencies often seem so subtle, yet they are extremely significant. For this reason, if you are involved at any level in proclaiming Christ among Muslims, I urge you to read this book."
