Islam is for many of us an unknown and unexplored subject. Among those who are largely unaware of this religion, there is a huge number of Christians, who have formed an idea of Islam, through the news, movies or television series. This caricature of Islam is not only detrimental to interacting with people who profess this religion but it also places us at a serious disadvantage for apologetic interaction.
Faced with the continuous increase of faithful to Islam, it is necessary that Christians equip ourselves with knowledge and clear arguments about this religion. In that sense, "40 Questions about Islam" written by Matthew Aaron Bennett, is a book that will help to understand Islam and generate a broader and more solid criterion on what this religion affirms.
The book is composed of seven parts, in which the reader will be able to understand the historical origins of Islam, the theological statements, the religious structure of Islam, as well as its practices. It is important to mention that, parts five and seven, offer us a contrast between the Christian faith and Islam, so that the reader can understand what is the position of Islam with respect to the Bible or prominent characters within the Christian faith. Questions 38-40 guide us on how to use all the content previously addressed (questions 1-37) in an apologetic or evangelistic sense.
This volume of the series "40 questions", will be useful for apologists, as well as for all Christians who want to know more about Islam and how to present their faith to those who affirm this faith.
