Review of Inviting Muslims to Christ
[Following is a volunteer review of "Inviting Muslims to Christ" by Randall Ireland.]
In spite of the differences in human beliefs and variations in religions, it is still worthy of note that religion and the belief that there is a supreme God plays an important role in our lives as human beings. Though it is not necessary to believe in a god to be a person of good morals, it also goes without saying that people who are non-religious are comparatively more liable to have less moral values than people who live in subjection to divinity.
Looking beyond the religious divide between two of the most common religions; Christianity and Islam, there is an obvious religious interplay between both religions in that both religions are monotheistic and they have some common rules given by God to all people to guide our moral values. Obeying these rules keep people in good relationship with the creator. Both religions support the upholding of strong moral values. Although both religions have common events and characters, it is also pertinent to note that there are many dissensions in how both religions define their doctrines and belief in God.
Inviting Muslims to Christ by Randall Ireland is an expository work that seeks to define, compare and contrast the variances between the doctrines and beliefs Christianity and Islamic religions. It seeks to reach out to her readers and expose them to the concept of salvation as believed by Christians. Randall presents the good news and knowledge of forgiveness of sins and salvation as offered by Jesus Christ, who is believed by the Christians to be the son of God as opposed to the Islamic belief that Jesus is a prophet. According to the writer, Christianity holds it that God is a trinity which means that God exists as a three in one being; God the father, Jesus who is the son of God and the person of the Holy Spirit.
The book is built from, and it presents an understanding of the fundamental sources of concepts and tenets as it pertains to man and as it relates to these religions, with a main aim of pointing Muslims to Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. I love how the book follows a sequential order in explaining the basic tenets of both religions with concise references to the Bible and the Quran. This spoke volumes of the quality research that was put in place to produce this book.
I did not particularly dislike anything about the book besides the fact that it is quite lengthy and somewhat boring. However, I think that the book is well structured, clear, highly informative and very educative. I would say that the book is well written and edited. On these bases, I give the book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend the book especially to Christians who have the desire to evangelize to Muslims. This book will help you understand the standpoints from which you should come from. I also recommend the book to anyone who is curious and wants to understand the theology of Christians and Muslims.
