A Disappointing Insight from an Seminarian

As a seminarian and a future Catholic in OCIA who is sincerely interested in Interfaith dialogue, specifically between Christianity and Islam, I am pretty disappointed that this book would be published and circulating amongst the faithful in a polarized world. At the same time, I plan to finish the book. I feel moved in spirit to look carefully at those phrases like “most Muslims….” And “Muhammad says…”.

There are many Quranic quotes, but they lack any real academic credibility and reference when speaking in depth about hadiths and classical and contemporary theologians…. Many are not named.… nor their work mentioned…

Also, I read and continue to reference all the footnotes. Thank you for those, but this book, while a glimpse into the most disturbing aspects of Islam, should have a sound opinion of a catholic theologian. Not just a “foreword” by a Priest.

May God guide us all in peace and reconciliation. In the end, correct us all in our misunderstandings with Mercy and Grace. -Amen.

Disappointing

As a history graduate and an attorney, I was taken aback by the tone of this book. There are many more astute books about Islam that both reveal and help to understand that faith and how it is lived. This book loses credibility in its internal contradictory statements, its lack of subjectivity, and becomes a screed against Islam. That is, a screed against its narrow view of Islam.

I do not recommend this book. There are much better history and apolitical ones out there.

Excellent source of information

This book is spot-on accurate with its information and helpful tips on sharing the Gospel with others. It has valuable points to consider, and it’s written in an understandable way.
