NCLA Review -Dr. Jabbour, an Arab Christian, was born in Syria, grew up in Lebanon and lived with his family in Egypt for 15 years. He has a doctorate degree in Islamics and has a deep understanding of the Islamic culture and world view. He introduces the reader to characters that are amalgams of Muslims he has known over the years. Through them we see how Muslims view the western world and its culture. There is much practical advice to encourage greater understanding between Muslims and Christians. Most importantly there is a call for respect of the Muslim culture and customs. Christians are encouraged to approach Muslims with love and remember that they are our neighbors too. Dr. Jabbour doesn’t ignore uncomfortable issues such as suicide bombings, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or terrorism that have impacted the relationship between Islam and Christianity. This non-prejudiced book about Islam is a must read for anyone wanting to better understand the Arab world. Rating: 4 —AL 261p, paper, Navpress 2008, 978-1-60006-195-0, $13.99 [261.27]… (mehr)
