Cross and Crescent

"Is the Muslim my neighbor? For increasing numbers of Christians, the answer is yes. The crescent, emblem of the Islamic faith recognized throughout the world, is gaining prominence in the West, bringing with it a collision of worldviews." "When the cross meets the crescent, what ought to happen? In the newly revised classic Cross and Crescent, Colin Chapman brings sensitivity and humanity to the question that too often incites hostility and suspicion. He introduces Islam in its historical context, its theological assumptions and, most important, its common practice in the West. In this comprehensive, gracious introduction to Islam, you will meet the Muslims in your community and learn how to love these neighbors as yourself."--Jacket.
