Christian. Muslim. Friend.: Twelve Paths to Real Relationship (Christians Meeting Muslims Book 3) Kindle Edition

by David W Shenk (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 42 ratings

Winner 2016 “Christianity Today Book Award” for Mission/Global Church catelogry.

Can Christians and Muslims be friends? Real friends? Even in an era of intense religious conflict, David Shenk says yes. In Christian. Muslim. Friend., Shenk lays out twelve ways that Christians can form authentic relationships with Muslims—characterized by respect, hospitality, and candid dialogue—while still bearing witness to the Christ-centered commitments of their faith.

Rooted in fifty years of friendship with Muslims in Somalia, Kenya, and the United States, this book will inspire readers with astounding stories of the author’s animated conversations with Muslim clerics, visits to countless mosques around the globe, and the pastors and imams who are working for peace.

These tried and true paths offer a compelling resource with practical application for mission personnel, Sunday school classes, and Christians who meet people of Islamic faith in their communities.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“At a time when relations between Christians and Muslims are more complex than ever, Shenk has given us a wonderfully thoughtful account of how to build relationships. Without giving formulas or reducing Muslims to a single type, Shenk draws on his vast experience in many parts of the world to provide an encouraging way forward for anyone seeking to share the hope of the gospel with their Muslim neighbors.”—Brian Howell, professor of anthropology, Wheaton College

--Christianity Today, December 2015

Recognizing the friction that can exist between Muslims and Christians, Shenk (A Muslim and a Christian in Dialogue) provides ways for Christians to reach across the religious divide. Shenk spent years as a Mennonite missionary in countries with Muslim populations, including Somalia and Kenya, and this direct experience of interfaith dialogue animates his book. Integrity, honesty, respect, hospitality, trust, and peacemaking become his cornerstones for building relationships with Muslims. Shenk uses stories of real encounters to illustrate his concepts, and he includes concrete suggestions for those hoping to introduce Muslims to the Bible. For example, he suggests the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospels as the books most accessible to Muslims interested in learning more about Christianity. Shenk comes from a Christian perspective and includes study questions as well as short appendices with information about Jesus and the Bible in the Qu'ran. Shenk can at times appear highly optimistic in his depiction of bridge-building, but that vision may well be the needed corrective to what sometimes seems an insurmountable difference of worldviews. (Nov.) --Publishers Weekly, Nov 2014 issue

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hilfreiche Lektüre
    Reviewed in Germany on September 1, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Dieses Buch gibt praktische Tipps, wie man als Christ auf muslimische Mitbürger zugehen kann, mit dem Ziel, einen konstruktiven Dialog im Kontext einer authentischen Freundschaft zu praktizieren.

    Sehr inspirierend. Auch wenn manche Berichte des Autors in Zeiten des islamistischen Terrors “zu gut klingen um wahr zu sein.“
