Understanding the Challenge of Islam Chawkat Moucarry

The threefold challenge of Jesus to his disciples in Mathew 7: - Take a critical look at yourselves (1-5) - Take a critical look at other faiths (15-20) - Do not be deluded about your faith; if it doesn’t lead to obedience to God’s will, it is useless (21-23) The Golden Rule in interfaith engagement (12)

The Theological Challenge: understanding Islam What is Islam? Who is Muhammad? What to think of the Qur’an? The Fatiha (and The Lord’s Prayer). Muhammad and OT prophets. A balanced approach to the Qur’an (1 Thess. 5:21-22).

The Political Challenge: Working with Muslims Who are Muslims ? - Fellow human beings - Fellow citizens - Monotheistic believers - God-fearing people The Greatest Command (Luke 10:25-37)

The Missionary Challenge: Witnessing to Christ - Do Muslims need to know the Gospel ? - If so who should make it known ? - How should Christian witness be borne? ‘We witness to Christ by life, deed, word and sign’ (World Vision Mission Statement)
