Plot

This book provides a unique treatment of Christian engagement with Muslims. The author offers provocative, innovative proposals for drawing on the Anabaptist peacemaking heritage to develop a peaceable method for communicating the gospel of peace among Muslims. For many centuries relations between Christians and Muslims have been stormy at best. What would happen if Christian speaking and action among Muslims flowed from the gospel Christians profess? That gospel is a song of great beauty, suggests Nickel, which deserves to be sung faithfully enough for its loveliness to be heard. And that is precisely the song Nickel aims to sing, as in eleven chapters backed up by an extensive bibliography he explores its details and shadings.
