Muslims and the Gospel: Bridging the Gap

Muslims and the Gospel: Bridging the Gap Book Reviews / Mission Studies 24 (2007) 333–364 341 Muslims and the Gospel: Bridging the Gap. By Roland E. Miller. Minneapolis, US, Lutheran University Press 2005. Pp. 452. $35.00. Books written about Islam and the Muslim community take a variety of approaches in describing the religious truths, sacred and ethical actions, and community experiences of Muslims to convey an honest portrait of this reli- gious tradition. Roland E. Miller’s latest study also hopes to inform Christians who will then cultivate positive relationships with Muslims. Th ese partner- ships, he believes, can be the means to proclaim the Gospel in ways that “make the power and love of Jesus available to Muslim friends” (306). Miller’s study is divided into three parts: “Th e Context – Pivotal Muslims Views,” “Bridges for the Crossing,” and “Th e Task – Connecting Muslims with the Message.” In the first section, Miller describes twelve key principles or basic facts about Islam and the Muslim community, including views about sin, salvation, the person of Jesus, and Muslim interpretations of Christianity and the Christian community. Miller discusses the historical development of these ideas and supplements this survey with suggestions for Christian- Muslim dialogue on these topics. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Mission Studies Brill
