In Reply to: questions on Islam from Christian Perspective posted by Daniel Marsh on March 14, 19101 at 14:39:06:

: 1. I am trying to locate some books Muhammad and the Religion of Islam by John
: Gilchrist and The Muslim Christ by Zwemer. Do you know of any bookstores ( Used or
: New ) or Ministries that specialize in Christian books on cults, SDA, Islam, apologetics,
: etc.,

CHECK WITH www.amazon.com OR Barnes & Noble. FRONTIERS IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT SOURCE FOR BOOK LISTS ON ISLAM (THEIR WEBSITE IS UNDERCONSTRUCTION ON THIS DAY 7/29/01, BUT IF YOU KEEP CHECKING BACK, YOU'LL FIND THEM).

: 2. Are the Jewish Targums old enough to use as a witnessing tool to Jehovah Witnesses
: or to Muslims? Were the Targums an influence on John's Logos in John 1:1-14? I hear
: that Memra is logos in the Greek Old Testament. So, would one be justified in
: substituting Jehovah for logos or "The Word" in John 1:1 ?

: 3. Has anyone responded to Bart D Ehrman's book The Orthodox Corruption of
: Scripture: The effect of early Christological controversies on the text of the new
: testament. Oxford University Press (1993)?

: 4. Has anyone exposed Greg Staffords' Jehovah Witnesses Defended or responded to
: Rolf Furulis's The Role of Theology and Bias in Bible Translation with a special look at
: the New World Translation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Both books published by Elihu
: Books.

: 5. How does one answer their claims of pagan influences for Christian Doctrine? Esp.,
: the Trinity. How does one explain the Trinity to Jehovah's Witnesses and to Muslims?

CHECK www.christian-thinktank.com

: 6. Is there a book that explains to Christians and New Christians who are ex-Muslims
: why the Koran is not the word of God? Has anyone done any serious Forum criticism on
: the Quran?

: 7. How do we answer the objections of the Jesus Seminar? Is there any books that
: prove beyond doubt that the Gospels are Historical documents? Is the Gospel of Thomas
: and the Gospel of Barbarous Christian documents of any value? Is there any information
: concerning forgeries during the Middle Ages?

THERE IS A BOOK CALLED Jesus Under Fire. DROP THAT IN AT AMAZON OR BARNES & NOBLE. THAT SHOULD GET YOU STARTED.

: 8. What are the best (most useful extensive ) books on dealing with Muslim Objections?

AGAIN, FRONTIERS

: 9. Is there any published material that deals with Muslims in Dearborn Michigan?

: 10. Is Jihad the same as Holy War in Christendom? Is there a well documented history
: of Jihad in Islam?

NO, NOT THE SAME. JIHAD IS OFTEN MISTRANSLATED AS HOLY WAR. IT ACTUALLY REFERS TO EXTREME EXERTION IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (EVEN TO THE POINT OF WAR--WHICH IS WHY PEOPLE POPULARLY TRANSLATE IT THAT WAY...AND BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY OF BLOODSHED IN ISLAM. DROP THE WORD JIHAD INTO AMAZON'S SITE. THERE ARE A FEW BOOKS ON IT. ESPECIALLY NOTE THE STUFF FROM OXFORD.

: 11. What are the requirements for Prophethood laid out by the Bible and does
: Mohammed come close to fulfilling them?

SEE DEUTERONOMY 18:14-22. COMPARE/CONTRAST WITH MUHAMMAD.

: 12. What is the story behind relationships between Muslim countries and Israel?

: Thank You for Your Time and Service, In Him

THERE IT IS AS BEST I CAN DO!
