KISSING COUSINS?
Christians and Muslims face to face

Bill Musk is undoubtedly one of Britain’s leading scholars on Islam, evangelical or otherwise, and he is specially gifted to present often intricate issues in an accessible and popular fashion.
His latest book is no exception. For evangelicals, assessing whether we can have positive estimates of other religions is always controversial, since it risks falling over the edge towards ecumenism, universalism or even syncretism. It is a testament to Musk’s evangelical and scholarly integrity that he is able to point to common areas without lapsing into the ‘all roads lead to God’ school.
