ISLAM - WHAT EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD KNOW
By Bassam M. Chedid
Evangelical Press. 288 pages. £13.95
ISBN 0 85234 573 9
A book enabling Christians to understand Islam is to be welcomed, especially if by an Arab Christian, but unfortunately I cannot give this publication wholehearted endorsement, because of a number of errors. Chedid writes in a style making his subject eminently accessible for the layman, and he covers most aspects of Islam very thoroughly.
Of special mention is the way he helpfully compares and contrasts Islamic and Christian doctrines in various sections. This is important because often Muslims and Christians use the same phrases but mean something different.
