The Metanarratives of Christianity and Islam

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Duane Alexander Miller, author of Two Stories of Everything. This is a book that I really appreciated and you can read my review here. Duane is a scholar and a pastor who really has a heart for Muslims. Our discussion will interest people who are interested in the academic study of Islam but also those who want to better be able to share Jesus with them. Duane recommended the following books in the podcast: The Call of the Minaret by Kenneth Cragg Sharing Jesus with Muslims in America by Abu Daoud Muhammad: Prophet and Statesman by W. Montgomery Watt Recommended Audio Book: No God But One by Nabeel Qureshi On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don't see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make? In No God but One, New York Times best-selling author Nabeel Qureshi takes listeners on a global, historical, yet deeply personal journey to the heart of the world's two largest religions. He explores the claims that each faith makes upon believers' intellects and lives, critically examining the evidence in support of their distinctive beliefs. Fleshed out with stories from the annals of both religions, No God but One unveils the fundamental enduring conflict between Islam and Christianity - directly addressing controversial topics like jihad, the Crusades, Sharia, the Trinity, and more. Listeners of Qureshi's first book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, will appreciate his careful and respectful comparison of Islam and Christianity. Both religions teach that there is No God but One, but who deserves to be worshiped, Allah or Jesus? Get this audiobook for FREE with a FREE trial of Audible.
