In this informative, enlightening book, Dardess invites us to explore some of Islam’s key beliefs and practices, using his own failings and successes as a guide. He shares how he sought to build bridges with the local Muslim community, and how his faith has been expanded and enhanced by the relationships and understandings that have resulted.
Each chapter includes a theological reflection on how a particular facet of Islam may enhance (rather than detract from) our own Christian self-understanding. At times humorous, questioning, and warm, Meeting Islam is an engaging guide to the rewards (and the dangers) of venturing outside the boundaries of one’s own faith.
