Islam: An Introduction to Religion, Culture, and History

by James A. Beverley

An essential introduction to the culture, history, and practices of the world’s second largest religion. Professor James A. Beverley provides answers to questions many Christians have about Islam. Issues include what Muslims think about God, the world, and their place in it; how Muhammad established a religion that now stretches around the world, how different groups within Islam define Jihad, why Palestine is important to Muslims, what roles women play in different Islamic communities, and how Christians should relate to Muslims.

Muy positivista en la exposición de datos, pero la naturaleza de estos es provechosa.

Muy buen libro para iniciarse en el tema del islam

[Don · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick basic overview of situation as of 2001 with limited updates to 2011. Short, around 100 pages. Useful as introduction from conservative evangelical view by academic with some 30 years of study in this larger field of world religions.
