Reader Reviews
The author provides a wonderful compendium of a difficult topic in a concise, logical, and very understandable manner. Ideal for someone who wants to find the "first" book to read on the subject matter so they can see the whole picture and then hone in on the individual issues; of which there are so many. I thought I knew the history. But like the author points out so many times in the book, the "knowledge" most parties have on the struggle between Islam and Christianity is generally based on mis-information and complete falsehoods resulting from the historical separation of the two social systems. I now feel better prepared to listen and deal with all the news and information that we face in the continually complex Middle East. I no longer feel dependent on the historically biased slant one gets from the social and religious environments that we live with in the Western world. This book will help a person interpret and better understand the information that presents itself from the evolving Middle East events.
