How did Islam start and what does it teach?
Which are its groups and movements?
What are the biblical answers to Muslim objections?
How can Christians interact with Muslims?
These are just a few questions on which Dr. Andreas Maurer, theologian and expert on Christian-Muslim encounters, gives clear answers.
Maurer sees the spread of Islam throughout the world not as a threat but as a challenge to the Christian church. He presents a compact and easily understood survey on the history of Islam, its teaching and religious background.
Different groups and movements within Islam are also described.
Readers will receive answers to Muslim objections and practical guidelines for interacting with Muslims.

Dr. Andreas Maurer is married to Ruth and they have three boys. He worked for some time as a Mechanical Engineer in Switzerland, before studying at bible college in England from 1981-1984. Thereafter he enlarged his knowledge through various courses and theological studies at universities in England and South Africa. In 1999 he completed his doctorate at the University of Pretoria (UNISA) on the topic: "In Search of a new Life: Conversion Motives of Christians and Muslims."
This book is written in a structured way to give basic insight into the religion of Islam and how Muslims practice their religion. After this book, readers may realize that in many cases they know more about Islam than the average Muslim does. However, the aim is not that Christians can correct Muslims about their beliefs. Instead, Christians should demonstrate a keen interest in what Muslims have to say.
The information herein may contrast with statements by Muslims and help Christians to differentiate between facts and wishful thinking of Muslims.
On this basis, Christians are then able to formulate more effective questions to challenge Muslims to think about the relationship between themselves and the Creator. Rather than immediately present answers, it is better that Muslims are first challenged to think and find answers themselves.
Only later may Christians share their faith with Muslims and explain the teaching of the Bible.
