Muslim Friends: Their Faith and Feeling : An Introduction to Islam (Concordia Scholarship Today) (Windows Workshop)
This is no ordinary account of Islam by a missionary, though there is much that will attract mission readers; nor is it the impartial approach sought by the academy, though there is much that is academic; it is rather like taking a journey of faith that behind the media facade of Islam as a militant, violent, resurgent and world-threatening force, there is an Islam of the heart. Western readers will begin to understand that Muslims too are humans with fears and hopes, that they too are on a journey of faith, and that perhaps friendship rather than enmity ought to be the goal.-Dr. Harold Vogelaar-Professor Emeritus of World Religions and Interfaith DialogueLutheran School of Theology, Chicago, IL --cph.orgThe term "Muslim friends" could conceal a lack of real friendship and honest appreciation. But how different it is in Dr. Miller's book. The author has succeeded brilliantly in introducing his Muslim friends, their faith and practices, covering a wide spectrum of topics in scholarly detail and yet in a most readable manner.-Dr. Willem A.
