In Christianity, if we want to describe Jesus, we use the words prophet, priest, and king to describe who he is, what he did, and what he continues to do. In this article, I will use those three terms to describe the person of Muhammad from Islamic sources.
In this article, I explore the way that Muslims view the Qur'an and compare this with the promises of the Bible.
This article takes a close look at the Arabic words of the adhan (Muslim call to prayer) and unpacks their meaning.
It has been said that Muslims are seeking God in Ramadan. The paper highlighted by this article shows what kind of righteousness they might be seeking.
Mark Durie, an Anglican churchman, describes 12 ideas prevalent in this century that "challenge people in the West to come to terms with the challenge of Islam today."
In this article, I will examine how a few contemporary mission thinkers have appealed to the altar to the unknown God in Acts 17:23. We will attempt to answer the question “Does the apostle Paul actually affirm the religiosity of the Athenians via the altar, and by extension, can we affirm the religiosity of adherents of other religions or of the validity of aboriginal/indigenous religion?”
This helpful article, written from the perspective of someone raised in Southeast Asia, highlights the allures and pitfalls of mercy ministry.
As we enter the decade of the new “roaring 20’s” many new words will find currency in our society. This piece looks at wokeness, virtue signalling, and intersectionality.
In Islam, there is a special night called the Night of Power/Destiny (or in Arabic, laylat al-Qadr). Here I compare and contrast that night with Christmas Eve.
At times the glowing statistics of massive movements to Christ in the Muslim world hide another reality, namely the fact that reversions back to Islam are also happening.
