by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner, Kregel Publications (2002), 176pp., Paperback, ISBN 0825424003

Gain a solid grasp of Islamic practices, ethics, history, politics, and beliefs. Raised Muslims by a mosque leader, the Caner brothers---now Christian seminary professors---are uniquely equipped to offer an insider's look at an often-misunderstood faith. Clarifying the primary differences between Christianity and Islam, they present practical strategies for opening productive dialogue with Muslims.

Islam is often obscured by a veil of unfamiliar beliefs, customs, and practices. We watch intriguing images of Islamic nations on our televisions. We hear words like Muslim and Jihad defined in conflicting terms. What is Islam, truly, when you peek behind the veil? Who can explain this culture with clarity and precision? Raised as Sunni Muslims by a leader in the Muslim faith, brothers Ergun and Emir Caner have lived the Muslim life. Now Christians and highly respected theology professors, the Caner brothers are in a unique position to present an unprecedented insider¹s look at Islam. Unveiling Islam is a sympathetic yet uncompromising presentation of the entire scope of Islam--its practices, ethics, and beliefs, including the primary differences between Christianity and Islam. With a basic knowledge of Islam in place, the authors then present a practical strategy Christians can use to open a productive dialogue with Muslims.
