About This Book

The work offers a concise introduction to Islamic belief, tracing the faith's formative history, principal doctrines, ritual and communal life, and claims of universal authority. It then places Islam alongside Christianity in a comparative section that considers prophetic roles, conceptions of God, moral expectations, and perceived failures on both sides, with a particular eye to missionary concerns. The final part reflects on prospective conflicts and recommends directions for Christian engagement and study informed by sympathetic understanding.
