If Allah Wills (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996859035)

"If Allah Wills" is an expression that comes to us from the Muslim world ("insha'allah" in Arabic) and connotes the hope that God is in control of our lives and world events. Pastor Kent Philpott has been studying Islamic theology and practice for fifteen years, while maintaining his own deep Christian faith. This book is written for the Muslim reader to consider various aspects of his/her religion as found in the Qur'an and other traditional texts and cultural norms and compare them to what Jesus brings as found in the Bible and Christian history. Some topics considered are Tawhid, Gabriel, Paradise, Taqiyya, Jihad, Obedience, Women, the West, Homosexuality, the Sira, the Satanic Verses, and a Call to Reform. Philpott does not condemn Muslims or attack the tenets of Islam or the prophet Muhammad but reaches out with care and concern with an offer of the love and grace of Jesus. This book is an excellent resource for Christian evangelists and apologists and for all who desire to understand some of the most important issues of Islam.
