This thought-provoking work by renowned Christian apologist Norman L. Geisler delves into the intricate relationship between Christianity and Islam, two of the world’s major religions. Published in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, when tensions between the West and the Islamic world were heightened, “Answering Islam” offers a comprehensive examination of the theological and historical underpinnings of both faiths.
Geisler, a prolific author and former professor of philosophy, draws upon his vast knowledge of comparative religion to present a balanced yet critical analysis of Islamic teachings and practices. With meticulous research and a respectful tone, he explores the origins of Islam, the life of Muhammad, and the core tenets of the Quran, while also addressing contentious issues such as jihad, Sharia law, and the treatment of women.
Simultaneously, Geisler articulates a robust defense of Christianity, underscoring its unique claims and contrasting it with Islamic beliefs. He delves into the historicity of the Bible, the divinity of Christ, and the doctrine of salvation, offering a compelling case for the superiority of the Christian worldview.
This well-preserved copy, with its clean pages and sturdy binding, invites readers to embark on a thought-provoking journey through the complexities of these two influential faiths. Collectors and scholars of comparative religion, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian-Islamic dialogue, will find “Answering Islam” a valuable addition to their libraries.
