Description

We see more and more on the television and in the newspapers each day about Islam. Since 9/11 brought Islam to the attention of the world, there have been a steady number of incidents of people doing things in the name of this religion, most of which show it in a very negative light. By allowing the media to be our source of knowledge on this subject we will get a distorted idea of what Islam is about.

Carl Medearis is an American who has lived in Lebanon for about 12 years, immersing himself in Islamic culture and, more importantly, Islamic mindset. You may well have heard him in Venue2 at New Wine South last summer. In Pillars and Prophets he takes us through the basics of Islam exploring its similarities with Christianity and its differences. He explains that our western ideas of how things should work do not always apply in other cultures, using true stories from his time spent in Lebanon.

Carl has divided each chapter into two parts. The first is dedicated to what muslims believe. In order to avoid simply presenting his own idea of Islam, he has had a number of muslim scholars read what he has written and deem it accurate. In the second half of each chapter, Carl offers a proactive Christ-like response to the subject.

This is a great book for people concerned by what they hear in the media about Islam who want to read a balanced view on the subject. We live in a multicultural society and are increasingly likely to come into contact with muslims. This book aims to make the person of Jesus, whom both Christians and muslims respect, the focus of our conversations with muslim friends.
