Confessio Augustana (Canada) Ltd is distributing nine tracts on comparing Islam and Christianity. I find them well written and thought out. Each tract consists of 6 pages (Introduction, Christian viewpoint, and Islamic viewpoint) The tracts were translated from the German.
The nine topics are God, Jesus, Man, Ethics, Politics, Future bliss, revelation, history, summary.
I find that the Politics section needs some improvement.
Is there any attempt to provide CRC churches with similar material?

I've heard talk of promoting Crescent Project's DVD curriculum, which includes info on basic Islamic beliefs, how they compare with Christianity, how to better understand and embrace our Muslim neighors, etc.
Unfortunately I don't have much more information than that, but it's another resource to look into if you're interested.
Thank you August for directing our attention to these resources. Do they have contact information or a web site? It sounds like these are helpful materials
In addition to the materials Meghan mentioned the Advancing Ministry Among Muslims Team is developing an introduction to Islam based on John Esposito's materials. We're also developing materials on dialogue with Muslims.
Once again thank you for connecting us to these resources.
In Africa I have had experiences where I discovered that the Old Testament prophets are similarly reveered by Muslims.
