About the Book
"Explores what the Evangelical micro public sphere has to say about key issues in Christian-Muslim relations today"--Book Synopsis
Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Who was Muhammad? How does theIsraeli-Palestinian conflict affect Christian-Muslim relations? This is a book about Evangelical Christians and how they are answering challenging questions about Islam.Drawing on over 300 texts published by Evangelicals in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, this book explores what the Evangelical micro-public sphere has to say about key issues in Christian-Muslim relations today. From the books they write, the blogs they post and the videos they make, it is clear that Evangelical Christians profoundly disagree with one another when discussing Islam. Answers to the questions range from seeing Muslims as the enemy posing an existential threat to Christians, through to welcoming them as good neighbours or even as close cousins.
Review Quotes
Dr. Richard McCallum's well-informed treatise examines seminal issues surrounding evangelical responses in their engagement of Muslims and Islam. It is a "must-read" for any Evangelical faculty, student, missiologist, or missionary/evangelist, whether new to the discussion or a veteran participant, from any part of the globe looking to become knowledgeable about this discussion.
Amit Bhatia, Associate Professor, Corban University, USA
Evangelical Christians are no different from catholic or liberal Christians, in that differing attitudes towards Islam can be found among them. This book provides an excellent outline of the variety of evangelical perspectives on Islam which has emerged since 2001, the main participants in the discussion in different parts of the world, and the particular issues of contention between them.
Hugh Goddard, Honorary Professorial Fellow at Centre for the Study of Islam in the Contemporary World, University of Edinburgh, UK
McCallum has produced a survey of how Evangelical Christians have engaged with the topic of Islam since the tumultuous events of 9/11, taking published Evangelical literature as his evidence base. Theologically aware and sociologically informed, this book offers a careful, sensitive account of how two powerful religious traditions contend with the other's presence in a troubled world.
