Not Peace But a Sword: The Great Chasm Between Christianity and Islam
Robert Spencer is a careful observer of Islam and a courageous voice on behalf of Christians. In Not Peace But a Sword he shows us how to take Islam seriously without falling into alarmism, hatred, or bigotry, and provides a needed corrective to media disinformation. --Scott Hahn --Fr. Scanlan Chair of Biblical Theology --Franciscan University of SteubenvilleA great many Catholics know only a Disney-fied version of Islam, and still cling to the dangerous illusion that Muslims and Christians share much in common. But as Robert Spencer ably demonstrates, beneath the surface similarities lies a deep and possibly unbridgeable gulf. This is must reading not only for Catholics but for all Christians. --William Kilpatrick -- author of Christianity, Islam, and Atheism: The Struggle for the Soul of the WestRobert Spencer carefully examines the challenge posed to Christianity by an increasingly militant Islam. His case is calm, lucid, accurate, and uncompromising in its presentation of the facts of history. He provides an honest and unflinching account of the roots of Christian/Muslim tensions, a robust defense of Jesus Christ and Christianity in response to Muslim claims, and a sobering wake-up call to all Christians. --Patrick Madrid ---author of Envoy for Christ: 25 Years as a Catholic Apologist and host of the Right Here, Right Now radio show
