Woodberry, professor of Islamic Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California, draws his material from papers presented by 24 evangelical Christian scholars. They bring to this book their expertise on Islamics, missiology, anthropology, theology, education, evangelism, and mission administration.
With such a variety of writers come differing styles of writing and ways of conveying ideas. I did not find all the articles equally easy to understand. However, they are generally complete and authoritative. Although the purpose of the book is to equip the Christian in discussing and sharing the Christian faith with Muslims, all contributors take seriously the challenges of Islam and the sincerity of Muslim behavior. For this reason the book will enhance better understanding and co-existence between adherents of the two largest world religions.
