Christianity

In June 2009 Outreach to Muslims released a four-session DVD Bible study titled “Speaking the Truth in Love to Muslims.” Like the book with the same name, it is designed to help Christians better understand Islam, become acquainted with their Muslim neighbors as friends, and discover why Muslims need the gospel of Christ.

The DVD and digital Leader's Guide can be purchased for $14.99. Printed copies of the 73-page Participant's Guide are available for $4.99 or they may be viewed and downloaded at no cost by clicking here.

The interchange between Christianity and Islam is not unique to our age. The ancient centers of Christendom—Jerusalem, Damascus, Antioch, Alexandria—fell under Muslim control, and in the first strongholds of the Christian faith, the churches all but died off.

The Crusades

The first word that comes to the minds of many in thinking of Muslim-Christian interactions is Crusades, and Muslims often respond to criticisms of jihad by claiming Christians did the same thing in the Crusades. Often the Crusades are portrayed as a Christian invasion of Muslim lands. Historical facts show it was not that simple.
