Description: This duo-culture apologetic guide compares the major tenets of Islam with Christianity. Answering Islam evaluates the claims of orthodox Islam from a Christian point of view, appealing especially to the Qur’an and the Bible. The book deals with the various core teachings of Islam: the Qur’an (Koran), the place of Muhammed, the Muslim’s view of man and salvation, and the doctrine of God (Allah).

A number of issues are dealt with in opening chapters, including the place of prophets in Islam, the Muslim concept of creation, the place of Christ in Islamic thinking, and the nature of eschatology in Islam, the nature of Islamic monotheism, the person of Muhammed.

The authors, a Christian apologist and a former Muslim, provide apologetic answers to prepare Christians for ministry in the Islamic context. This second edition contains two new appendices, a new preface written in light of September 11, 2001, and updated information throughout. 368-pg paperback.
